I’ve done quite a few Airbnbs and honestly this place is by far one of the best. We are 2 female friends that visited during carnaval and felt super safe walking at night from the metro to Leonardo’s place. Leo’s hospitality is immaculate, i would give him 6 stars if I could. The location is perfect because you’re super close from centro and the beach area and isn’t a noisy area. The view from his window is to die for. Leonardo is very present if you want him to be, suggesting all the best blocos, restaurants, activities to do and even has a hiking trail on the Airbnb experience that you can do, highly recommended! He is fine if you bring friends over but obviously ask for permission first. There isn’t any AC, but he has a fan and the placement of his apartment brings a lot of wind so there is a lot of airflow so it’s wasn’t too bad. If it’s your first time visiting Rio, I highly recommend you go for Leonardo’s place, you won’t regret it.
