Finally, this is a place you can relax when booking because the pictures do not tell the full story! The place was cleaned to perfection and so nice that on a few days we just cooked in and laid around the apartment (a block away from the beach). The communication with the host was the best I’ve ever experienced with any Air BnB and this made my 43rd trip to Rio!!! The door staff was friendly and greeted you with huge smiles and hellos every time we arrived or departed. The location is right in the heart of everything you need and close to some of the best restaurants in the area! We just loved everything about the feeling of home away from home (I even ended up washing all my clothes on vacation so my bags came back ready to unpack with no work needed).
I can’t say enough about this jewel of a place…book it and thank Sidney and ME (lol) later.
