Location was great and the view incredible - however the maid is free to come and go at will. We woke up one morning to her downstairs and were quite startled. I know intentions are well but it was off putting, as it was the first time I had a third party enter my Airbnb as I was asleep with no notice. Waking up to a stranger in your accommodation is an interesting feeling to say the least.
Cesar is incredibly helpful and has a ton of great recommendations and tips for your time in Ipanema, I am very appreciative of him as a host. He even helped us with covid testing and his response times are quick.
