My daughter and myself stayed in Rafael’s awesome apartment for 9 days. We had never been in Rio before and I never used Airbnb so I was not very sure what to expect.
It turned out to be a fantastic choice! The apartment was in the best location. Close to the beach, public transport and trendy shops and restaurants in the street. Coming home to the apartment was blissfully quiet and peaceful. So nice to also be able to sit outside and chill.
Rafael was an awesome host. We felt so safe staying next door to him, he was always so helpful and responsive. When all shops ran out off eggs he even donated his own eggs.
We really hope to go back one day. I can very much recommend this apartment.
