Mercedes made us feel very welcome--she welcomed us very early in the morning when we landed and had waters and snacks already bought for us in the room. The room is exactly as described and the bed was extra comfortable. We actually had not problems sleeping and it was very quiet. I have a sleeping disorder so if I can say that I slept without using my earplugs than anyone can sleep!! Neighborhood is extremely safe and quiet as well! Also, the rooftop pool was wonderful, especially in the rain because it is enclosed but glass so you can see all of Rio including the Christo Redentor. Makes a magical experience at night! This was our first time using airbnb and was more than we could have imagined thanks to Mercedes. Also, chose the breakfast option!!! you won't regret it.
