I stayed with 4 friends in Arildos apartment. We communicate to arrive in the early morning around 8am already. We arrived even an hour earlier and his wife was expecting us. She had been super kind and explained us everything. We had to go through google translate though as we didnt speak Portoguese and she doesnt speak English. She was very patient and even went with us to the supermarkt to explain and show us how it works. The apartment is simply beautiful! The view is amazing, all over the Copacabana and the Forte do Copacabana. The balcony is not really shown well at Airbnb as it is way bigger and you can chill there with a beer watch the Copacabana and the beach. The entire apartment is neatly organized and is equipped like a normal household. There are so many nice details that you feel simply at home. A/C works great and you dont have to sweat in the night. The two rooms have a nice bathroom, one is with a view to the front and Copacabana the other one to the back. There is a third sleeping place which seemed a little tight like on a boat and the fifth person slept simply on the couch instead of that room. If you want to stay in a nice apartment with perfect view, a kind and patient host that is the right choice to a good price!
