Staying at this Airbnb Studio in Tijuca, Rio de Janeiro, was an amazing experience (39 days), Starting with the excellent communication with Denise (The Host/Owner), where she answered all my questions, and gave easy instructions, and provided all the information we needed, to arriving, and her (assistant) Andrea welcoming us to the beautiful studio, it could not have been smoother. Everything about the experience was first class. I never wanted to leave.
Denise, and her assistant Andrea was so hospitable, thoughtful, gracious, communicative, and friendly. They both always answered text/email, and there suggestions/Tips, were very helpful during my trip in Rio. Denise always checked in on me every couple of days, to make sure everything was going great, which made me feel good.
The studio is located in a great spot in Rio, it's a short walk to the metro, great restaurants, nightlife (bars), shopping areas, pharmacies, or banks. Getting around was easy thanks to where the studio was located at, I was able to get anywhere in Rio in a decent time. The studio had a wonderful view over Tijuca, the balcony was cozy, and made for a great sitting area to read or just take in the views. The studio is spacious, very tidy, well maintained, and comfortable for 2 people, and has everything you need for a long stay or short stay.
The kitchen is compact, and well equipped. The bed was comfortable (2 twin mattresses that can be separate, or put together), me and my girlfriend chose to keep them together but the mattresses would move apart a little when we laid down, but wasn't a big issue.
It's a lively neighborhood, with lots of life, However it is quiet inside the condominium, where the studio is located, which I loved. The studio was clean, and the linens, and towels generously supplied. Denise was even flexible with my check out time, which I truly appreciate, it was extremely helpful for me.
Denise and her assistant Andrea provided everything we needed, and were very quick to respond, perfect example, when we first arrived, the wifi they first provided did not work at all, so we told Andrea, and Denise about the issue, they fixed the issue by the next day, and were able to provide us with another wifi, which was way better, but still had it's issues. If you're looking for really good wifi, this might not be the place for you, the wifi was the only issue I had with this place though.
It was a pleasure to say how wonderful our stay in this Airbnb was, Andrea was of great help during are stay. Anytime I approached Denise or Andrea with a problem it would get handled fast. Thank you Denise, and Andrea!!! Definitely recommend for individual or couple, and for long or short stays. Denise is a wonderful host, and kind person. She has a beautiful studio, with a amazing view, that is well equipped.
