This Airbnb is a diamond in the rough. I absolutely loved staying here. It was exactly what I needed for my week long trip to Rio de Janeiro. And given the chance I’d come back here in a heartbeat.
Things I loved… —1. The shades in the window. Seriously some mornings I had no idea the sun was even up yet. —2. The location. It really is a small walk to such a beautiful breathtaking beach. It was in such a centralized location I could take an Uber literally everywhere I went. —3. The flexibility of the host. They let me pay a tiny bit more to check in early so I didn’t have to carry my luggage around town waiting for check-in. And same for check-out. I got to have a little extra time to pack my bags and really relax. —4. The comfort of the apartment. It was just very roomy, quiet and comfortable. It had everything I needed. —5. The Air conditioner. It was quite nice to sleep with AC.
The only con I could think of, wasn’t really a big deal. But they do advertise there are English channels on the tv. I couldn’t really find anything other than a random weather channel in English. Which isn’t a big deal for two reasons, one.. I speak Portuguese so it was fun and fine to watch Portuguese tv. And two, I didn’t come all the way to Rio to watch tv inside an Airbnb. I was out and about most all of my trip.
Also not a big deal but just a heads up if you want to use the washer/dryer make sure you have all day. You’re not in Kansas anymore Dorothy, it literally takes 8 hours before your clothes are done. (3 1/2 to wash and 4 1/2 to dry on the cotton setting)
If you’re debating on which Airbnb to book, stop now. This is the one!!
