This was my first time using Airbnb, and I was really nervous - what if the apartment didn't look like the pictures, or what if the host canceled on us last minute (leaving us homeless in Rio during World Cup Finals weekend)? I had tons of concerns. Fortunately, we wound up having a wonderful first experience. The apartment was lovely and well-located, just as it appeared from the listing, and Debora was a fabulous host. When we arrived she gave us a detailed tour of the place, had instructions for TV and Wi-Fi written down for us, left us with maps and restaurant suggestions, fruit, and even a plug adaptor. We had a problem with the hot water at one point and Debora took care of it when we let her know. Also - she warned us when we arrived that her English wasn't good, but it was very good! Overall, a great apartment and a great host.
