Caixa preta is most definitely one of the most awesome place I have stayed with Airbnb! And I have stayed MANY places all over the globe! To start, Louri and Renato are super communicative, social and welcoming! The apartment I stayed at was super clean, well decorated with the sweetest balcony with a burgeons plumeria tree which fragrance is delicious! The location is super safe (I am a single woman) with a cool mix with the CommUNITY of Pavão/Pavãozinho. Location is prime within a block to Copacabana beach and everything else! Best restaurants, supermarkets and bars! Louri knows all the places for laundry, bike rental (a must in Rio). I am actually quite sad to have to go... I be back!!!!
