I travel all over the world and I’ve stayed in many Airbnb’s over the years. This stands out as one of the BEST I’ve ever experienced. The location is PERFECT, just a few minutes walk to the beaches of Ipanema. Celina and Maria were very quick to respond to any questions I had, and they let me reserve their apartment on very short notice. I extended my time twice during my stay because everything was amazing. I plan to return to Rio in June, and I hope I’m able to book with Celina and Maria again. This was my first time to Brazil, but it won’t be my last. Everything was incredible and the photos match the apartment exactly as it is. I wish I could extend my time again. 5 stars for everything!!
