In the many times that I have used Airbnb in my trips, never had I had such an attentive, sweet and amazing host as Beth. She is a true carioca: easygoing, helpful, warm and special. I am so glad I picked this place to stay in Rio de Janeiro.
The suite is located in a beautiful apartment in the hip neighborhood of Leblon –one of the safest in RJ– and surrounded by many shops and restaurants and in front of a big supermarket if you wish to buy food. Leblon beach is located only four blocks away and it is much nicer and more tranquil than Copacabana and Ipanema. There is a bus stop only a few meters away as well a cab station outside of the building. The subway station is only three blocks away and it is a cheap and easy way to move around the city.
The bed is really comfortable, both the A/C and the ceiling fan worked fine all the time and cable TV was also available for us to watch. It is also packed with many amenities such as a minibar, a welcome snack, a pitcher full of cold water and a fully equipped in-suite bathroom for the guests to enjoy.
It is, by far, the best value for my money I have ever had in this platform, and the hosts like Beth are the ones that make this option such a fantastic one.
