Monica was great! my flight was a bit late and my phone could not get a signal...she waited right in front of the building until I showed up,and this was like 7 in the morning.!,she was informative and helpful..first time with Airbnb and it was a great relief to know that good people are working with them...the apartment was fantastic, super clean modern and exactly like the picture. the building is in a middle class neighborhood with tons of charm I felt safe day and night . You are close to all the great neighborhoods without paying the high prices..Copacabana.. what else can I say its just legendary...What a wonderful stay. Rio is just beautiful and this apartment lets you live and feel the pulse of the city...great value for your money highly recommended. you will not be sorry. I stayed for 8 days in june.my parents are coming to rio soon and I will recommend this apartment to them. ..so feel free to book it! its a great deal! tchau! P.S Bed linens were Fresh, crisp and clean!
