Honestly, this is one of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed at which is why I repeatedly come back. I absolutely love the area. Perfect distance from both of Rio’s most famous beaches. The neighborhood is amazing if you are someone like me who likes to be immersed in the culture. Lively music, incredible view, you really feel like you are staying in a luxury hotel for amazing value. The only thing I’d say to keep in mind is that it can be hard to catch an Uber that will come up to the Airbnb. This is because it is located at the bottom of Favela do Cantagalo. Don’t fall into the local prejudice regarding favelas. I felt completely safe and secure even at night. Overall love this place! Don’t miss out!
