We booked Mariana’s penthouse for Carnival. We were a bit skeptical in the beginning with the limited reviews but WOW everything could not have turned out better! I have stayed in over 50 airbnbs over the years and this one truly stands out. The apartment is just so well done from the quality of the renovations to the quality of the furniture and appliances. You can tell the extra money was spent to do it right which is a nice feeling when you spend good money for a rental. They have every single amenity you could think of covered from a nespresso machine to all types of glassware and a speaker for music.
The AC worked great in all of the bedrooms. The location can not be beat. Two blocks to Impanema beach and great restaurant and bars outside of your doorstep. We spent a month in Brazil and this was by far the safest location we stayed. Overall I can’t recommend this place enough. It is a high end luxurious penthouse in a great location. Checks all of the boxes!
