I traveled to Brazil for the world cup using Airbnb for the first time and it couldn't have been any better. The room was exactly as what was advertised and the rest of the apartment was great...living room, bathroom and kitchen were all clean. Adriano (the host) was very accomadating letting me drop off my luggage while the room was still being prepared for me, which worked out great letting me grab breakfast without my luggage. Also, Adriano gave excellent tips on what restaraunts and nightclubs I should visit during my stay; we even grabbed a few drinks one night at a local bar which allowed us to know each other a bit. As for location...it was excellent. Both metro and beach are within a 5 minute walk. All in all, I felt very comfortable, felt like Adriano cared about his guests and I would definitely book this room again. Thanks Adriano!!!
