This was my first experience with Airbnb, and it was definitely a wonderful one! The apartment was perfect and in a great location -- a couple blocks from the beach and close to buses that will take you anywhere you'll want to go. Above all, Levy was fantastic. My boyfriend and I had some last minute changes in arrival and departure times, and Levy was super accommodating. He even told us the places to visit, how to get there, when to go (rain/sun/etc.), and where to eat. We would have been lost without him! If you're traveling to Rio for the first time, definitely rent from Levy!
