This was our first holiday using AirBnB and we were very happy with the outcome. We chose the apartment based on its location which looked and turned out to be perfect. Naruna and Pedro met us on arrival and gave a helpful run through the apartment. They had also stocked the fridge and provided snacks and fresh fruit which was really appreciated. The apartment was perfectly located for doing everything we wanted to do from the beaches of Ipanema and Copocabana to the usual sights of Sugar Loaf and Christ the Redeemer. There was also helpful information in the apartment re bus routes (which we used to get to Christ the Redeemer) and bike hire (which we did for a day). Overall we had a great time in Rio and feel that being happy with our chosen accommodation was an important part of that. Many thanks Naruna and Pedro.
