I flew into Rio from the United States (first time in Brazil) and this place was absolutely perfect. To be honest, one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve had with a host - incredibly accommodating, super responsive, and the building exceeded our expectations (the doormen we’re so welcoming and nice). I will add, I was with native Brazilians so it made it much easier to communicate with on site.
Now the place was perfect for the 3 of us but could easily accommodate 4-6. The balcony was a great place for coffee or to unwind. Beds were super comfortable, and 2.5 baths were great. A/C is a must for Rio summers and both bedrooms had great ones. Our host even had a nice little gift for us upon arrival, which we loved!
The location was PERFECT for the beach, we were able to walk to Ipanema and Copacobana.
I plan on coming back in the future and will stay here again. 10/10
