Very recommend! You won't regret booking this!
First of all: Renato and Louri are very friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with - great hosts! They'll answer every question you have and have great local recommendations. Check in and check out was also very easy!
Second of all: The airbnb itself is very nice and clean and located on a small hill very close to Copacabana and Ipanema. The area feels very local and authentic but also very safe!! While uber drivers won't drive you straight to the door, you just have to walk down the street. It's a gated house and police are standing just outside 24/7 and we felt very safe staying there for a little less than a week. I'd definitely come back next time visiting Rio de Janeiro!
