The definition of hospitable - Celso and Cely did everything to make our stay in Rio unforgettable, and really set the standard of what an Airbnb host should be like. The room was spotless with perfectly functioning Air Conditioning (much needed in the heat!), and the apartment itself was lovely - especially the hammock!
Location wise this is a fantastic place as you are minutes from Copacabana Beach, directly next to Siquiera Campos Metro Station, and right in the heart of Rio's hustle and bustle. However at night it was also quiet, meaning that our sleep was never interrupted.
Celso personally took us on a guided tour of the beautiful Tijuca Forest, as well as informing us of the best way to see the sights such as Corcovado and Sugarloaf Mountain.
All in all, our expectations were exceeded ten times over - if you are looking for a place to stay in this magical city with an incredible host, this is the place for you.
