My experience with Carlos and his apartment was outstanding. My 16-year old son and I traveled to Rio for the Olympics from the U.S. so we made our plans quite a bit in advance. Carlos was very responsive and answered any questions I had within a very short period of time. He was very helpful in providing details about the area and what we needed. I asked him about someone to drive us and he recommended a friend who spoke English. He drove us all week and was an amazing part of our experience. He showed us all around the area, took us to the various Olympic venues and popular tourist spots and kept us safe. He was fantastic!

Located on the 7th floor, the apartment was just as pictured. It was renovated, clean and well equipped with technology. The building had security downstairs and a front desk to help with any questions. You could also buy bottled water and ice cream in the restaurant and as well as have meals. The location was great and perfect for a visit to the Copacabana area. The couch and bed were very comfortable and the kitchen and bathroom were great. We also loved the patio. It was nice to have the cleaning service available as needed to freshen up the apartment.

This was my first experience with Airbnb and I would highly recommend it. Rio is a beautiful city and the Olympics were a once in a lifetime experience. Carlos made us feel at home and was so professional, friendly and available to us. I feel we had a much more pleasant and economical experience staying at this apartment then we would have had at a hotel. I couldn’t say enough positive things!
