This Airbnb space could not have been better. The hosts' hospitality was incredible, warm, friendly, and accommodating. Especially knowing we have a little son, they took extra care to prepare the balcony with the necessary safety features to make us feel safe.
The view of the space is breathtaking. You get to see the Sugar Loaf right from the window, and the Christ from the kitchen. I guarantee it looks even better than the photos on the site. Normally, the opposite is true. But on this Airbnb, we were surprised immediately when we walked in, and we never got tired of the amazing views.
The space is charming, very well decorated, and perfect for anyone looking to stay in a great area of Rio like Jardim Botanico. I was actually born and raised in Rio but currently live the U.S, and as someone who has the experience of actually being in Rio and also seeing it from a "gringo" perspective, you'd be lucky to stay in this Airbnb.
Here's a huge bonus: the security features of the street and building are unparalleled. there's a private security guard who stays OUTSIDE of the building. I've never seen that before... in addition to the doorman there's someone who's monitoring the street all the time. It was awesome to be there with my wife and baby knowing the street was 100% safe.
Thanks so much!!!
