My friend and I had an incredible stay at Daniella's place. For us it was so much more than an airbnb - it was the complete favela experience. Granted, this might not be for everyone but we embraced it and had an amazing time, we met amazing locals, we always felt safe and it showed us a true side of Rio we never would have seen otherwise. Unmissable, we are delighted we stayed here.
If you don't feel like you would be comfortable with what you might see in the favela and you are looking for a less colourful experience then maybe give this place a miss, but if you want something different and the real Rio then this is the place for sure, the airbnb itself is great: clean, modern and has the most amazing roof terrace with great views of the city and Christ the Redeemer.
Finally; Daniella is an amazing host, super flexible and kind. She took us in at short notice with delays and couldn't have been more welcoming. 10/10 airbnb.
