Had a very bad experience with the host! the host is rude and inconsiderate. Monica called me screaming asking me where I was and judging me for my choice of transportation. there was heavy rain that caused my bus to arrive in Rio 3 hours late, she called me with attitude rudely telling me that I'm late and that "I should never take the bus". I explained to her that the situation is out of my control and that I cannot leave the bus while its in route. she proceeded to be rude and asking where exactly I was and to look at the map to let her know the exact location. she should be more concerned about safety of her clients rather than screaming at me over the phone.
if you want to deal with this type of host I suggest you stay here, if not, there are many amazing other places in Leblon you can stay in. this was 4th time in Rio and first time dealing with someone so inconsiderate!
