Cynara and Fernando were great hosts! They went beyond what you would expect, helping us with any little doubt we had and even going out to brunch and dinner with us. Also, the guidebook they make available on their airbnb listing is full of great tips, I highly recommend reading it!
The apartment was fantastic! it's located in a beautiful and safe area, with easy access to all major attractions, with public transportation near by and taxis available as soon as you walk out the door. It has all the amenities necessary to make you feel like home: a fully equipped kitchen, A/C and cable TV in both the living room and the bedroom and many little details that make this apartment very inviting.
We were a group of four and while having one bathroom made getting ready a little slow, is not really an issue as long as you get organized. For longer stays, there's a laundromat nearby, in case you need to wash your clothes.
I highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Rio and hopefully we'll be able to comeback soon!
