Let me start by saying Omar is one of the best host I’ve ever used on Airbnb. Quick response, super accommodating, goes above and beyond, helpful, friendly and truly made my time here in Brazil easier. After booking on airbnb we started conversing on WhatsApp and he was available whenever to answer any questions I had. The place is in a great central neighborhood. Two blocks away from the beach, two blocks away from a grocery story and a 15-20min taxi/Uber ride from pretty much anywhere you want to go. Walking distance to copacabana and ipanema beach. Check in was super easy. Even with the language barrier between myself and the front door attendant Omar made check in super easy {not to mention there’s a 24 hr front door attendant which makes you feel even safer}. The place is stylish, clean, great AC, stove, washer machine, smart tv, comfortable bed, extra linen. Shower has great water pressure, hot and cold water. I didn’t know how to work the audio on the television and Omar came over immediately the next morning to help rectify the situation. I would totally recommend Omar’s place. I promise you will not be disappointed.
