Yuri is a kind host who is quick to reply and very generous in accommodating flexible arrival/departure time. The location of the apartment is perfect, putting you in a prime location between the beach and the lagoon with quick access to local dining in the neighborhood, as well as to public transport to make it out to other neighborhoods. The apartment is a perfect amount of space for travelers who intend to spend their time in Rio outside and just need a comfortable, clean home base to return to at night for rest. The bed is comfortable, the shower is spacious, and has a convenient built-in clothes line to hang laundry to dry after a visit to the beach, and the kitchen has all of the necessary efficiencies to store water and prepare light snacks.
The precise location of the apartment positions it on a lively corner of the city that has enough traffic to feel safe at any time of the day or night, while not being so loud that it interferes with rest. All around, perfect enough for us to want to make this Airbnb our regular go-to on our return trips to Rio!
