Bianca and her mother were both pleasant and welcoming hosts. They made me feel immediately at home at the AirBNB. They provided provided excellent recommendations of what to do in Rio de Janeiro as well as offered to guide me if needed.
The location of the AirBNB is on a relatively steep hill. Although the AirBNB maybe difficult to access by walking; it is within minutes to Ipanema and the beaches via Uber rides that are very affordable. The surrounding neighborhood is gated and quiet- security is not an issue.
The home is tidy and organized. Highly recommend this AirBNB for future travelers to Rio de Janeiro.
