This was one of my best AirBnb anywhere ever. Not only was the apartment beautiful, but the host, Maria Luiza, was the nicest I've ever met. The apartment is clean, modern and classy in the safest and most happening part of Ipanema, near the beach, the entertainment hub, and the subway. It is full of windows with a full kitchen and a heavenly memory-foam bed. The host, Maria Luiza and her husband, were the embodiment of the Christ the Redeemer, welcoming visitors with open arms. They communicated quickly, recommended places to eat and shop in the area, and were incredibly generous accommodating my departure when my flight didn't line up with checkout time. I cannot imagine a better place to stay in Rio than this gorgeous apartment.
