After our first Airbnb in Rio turned out to be not as advertised, we were able to reserve Gilda's and move in right away, which was a relief! The apartment was very spacious, which was very comfortable for us to spread out. We had 7 people (including 3 small kids) and the accommodations were ideal. The hammock was also very enjoyable in the living room. Location-wise, we were close to the beach, restaurants and grocery stores. It was also very easy to catch a cab to Rio attractions. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and the doorman was always very nice and helpful. The unit is not a new building, but it is well maintained. When there was a problem with the water heater, Heloisa (who checked us in) got it fixed immediately. Very responsive! We enjoyed our stay!
