TLDR: RUN & book this AirBnB ASAP, you absolutely won't regret it!
HOST: Karla was a wonderful host! She was incredibly accommodating after my phone had gotten stolen in Chile and made communication with her via WhatsApp very easy. She was also very friendly & helpful and even provided an amazing list of recommendations on places to eat nearby, local grocery stores in relevance to their AirBnB's location and so much more.
LOCATION: Couldn't have asked for a more perfect location right in the heart of Copacabana Beach, just a block away from the famous Copacabana Palace! Just an FYI-Rio is a very loud and bustling area, so no matter where you stay, it'll be loud & full of people everywhere, especially if you stay close to the beach. So if you're worried about noise concerns, just a heads up to bring ear plugs. This is not a listing you want to miss out on, it's AMAZING!
AIRBNB: What you see in the pictures is EXACTLY what you get! Beautifully decorated, impeccably clean and stylish beachfront apartment with an upscale, modern decor kitchen + new appliances (complete with anything and everything you need to cook yourself a nice meal in-pots/pans/cooking and dining utensils, you name it, they've got it), a comfortable living room with a flat screen TV, wrap around windows that provide the most beautiful view of Copacabana Beach and of the strip & two bedrooms complete with comfortable queen beds & two bathrooms complete with rainfall showers! Plus, the master bedroom has an amazing hot tub too!
If I ever come back to Rio de Janeiro again, I can't wait to stay at Karla's apartment. She's the BEST host & this listing is in the BEST location! I enjoyed my stay & definitely appreciated the 24/7 security guard at the front entrance of the apartment as well as it made my mom and I feel very safe. Obrigada, Karla!! :)
