Igor was an excellent host throughout the entire airbnb experience -- prior to booking, prior to arriving, and while we were visiting! He was very easy to get a hold of, answering my questions via email within hours of sending them -- very reliable!

The apartment is in a great location, just 2 blocks from Copacabana Beach (you can actually peak your head out the window and look down the street towards the beach!). It is situated in a safe area with a lot of stores, restaurants, supermarkets, and pharmacies within walking distance.

The apartment was excellent! While the apartment building is not brand new, the apartment itself is all recently renovated with brand new EVERYTHING. From the multiple flatscreen TVs, to the washer/dryer, to the windows and doors -- everything is new and amazing. Igor did a phenomenal job designing and decorating this perfectly located apartment.

This was my first airbnb experience abroad, and Igor could not have been a better host! He sincerely cared about our Rio de Janeiro experience being a positive one, even leaving fresh fruit and juices in the refrigerator upon my early morning arrival. He went out of his way to recommend places to see, eat, and enjoy while I was in Rio. Could not recommend him any more!
