This was my first airbnb experience and it was amazing! I was travelling solo and it was a great authentic experience. The hosts, Axel and Valentin were thee best!!! If I stayed in a traditional hotel on the beach, my trip would be totally different. The very second night Axel invited all the house guests out to a street party, when we arrived which was only 5 minutes walk there were over 5 thousand Cariocas, dancing, singing, partying in the street. It was a carnvial group practicing so we were dancing for miles and it was probably the best moment during my stay in Brazil. Do not be thrown but the mention that Casa 48 is in a Favela, the neighbourhood is safe and the view is PRICELESS!!! If you go to Brazil this is the place to stay! The price you cannot beat and the view is worth millions. Thank you Axel and Valentin for great memories.

Best Wishes,
Quinn
