This was my first time using Airbnb as well as my first time to visiting Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I didn’t know what to expect, so it was a pleasure to have a host such as Luciana who made my settling in smooth as butter. She provided necessary information such as how to use the amenities as well as information pertaining to the local area. I felt at ease during my stay here and never had a issue, which was to big or small or enough for Luciana to handle.
The apartment is based in Avenida Prado Júnior, Copacabana. The apartment was really clean and cosy, which is ideal if you are solo traveler, which suited me. The neighborhood felt safe and wholesome. I felt as if I was part of the local community. The local people were kind, warm and approachable.
The nearest Rio metro station Cardeal Arcoverde is about a 8-10 minute walk. The Copacabana beach is literally a stone throw away from the apartment. About a 2 minute walk. The area also has a plethora of supermarkets and restaurants, which was ideal. If you like to cook meals, I recommend Hortifruti, as there meats and vegetables are of a high standard.
Luciana was also kind enough to refer me to a currency exchange establishment, which helped loads as I needed to change money ASAP.
To conclude, Luciana is a terrific host and answers any queries in a quick timely manner. She is personable and understanding. I can’t recommend this apartment or Luciana enough.
Thank you for reading my review.
