Bianca and Arthur are incredible hosts that are very communicative, friendly and supportive. The apartment was spotless, and had great facilities such as a gym, swimming pool and reception security. I could tell that the hosts take great care in welcoming guests.
One thing I would suggest other guests to be aware of, is the location. It’s near bustling part of town called Lapa — where the majority of bars and clubs are. Lapa can be quite busy, especially during the weekend. As a result of this, there is a considerable amount of garbage left out on the street when you’re walking around the area which can smell and look unappealing. It’s not a critique of the apartment but something worth taking into account when visiting certain parts of Rio in general.
Thank you and Bianca and Arthur for being great hosts.
