I cannot say enough good things about this Airbnb. Not only would I stay here again, I would happily live here.
The basics, wifi was great, shower had very hot water with good pressure, kitchen was extremely well equipped (cooking oil, salt, sugar, pepper, coffee dripper w/ filters and coffee included) and super functional, bed was comfortable. Sandra was always helpful and available.
Other than that, the place is absolutely gorgeous with a beautiful minimalist design. Two story ceilings with huge windows letting in lots of natural light. Private balcony on the small second floor was lovely when enjoying the morning coffee. You also have a beautiful garden view from the kitchen doors/windows.
Located near Lapa which has the best nightlife in Rio and in general just a lovely neighbourhood, never felt unsafe walking around day or night. Close to centro to explore by foot, and 25 minute walk to the metro to get to other parts of the city
There is some street and animal noise, but it never bothered me. Even if it did, very small price to pay for how amazing the rest of the apartment is.
