This Airbnb was better than I expected. It is very close to the main Postos of Barra da Tijuca beach and there is a bicycle rental near by as well. I believe you will need a Brazilian CPF number and a Brazilian cellular phone number in order to rent a bicycle. That is what I had to do in order to rent one but it was fantastic and the location is not very far from the Barra Shopping Mall. Overall I highly recommend this Airbnb. The pictures are exactly what you will see when you come. I don’t know much Portuguese but the people in the area are friendly and they will help in any way they can.
