The location of this Airbnb is ideal for anyone visiting Rio. It’s walkable to shops, restaurants and the beach which is fantastic.
The communication was great throughout and the security staff were friendly too.
The apartment could really do with some maintenance. For the cost (over $200 a night) you’d just expect a little more. There’s no aircon in the living area which meant as a group we couldn’t hang out together as it was far too hot and ended up having to eat our breakfast in our bedrooms. It generally needs some care, they haven’t even taken the packaging off a couple of the prints before putting them up which made us laugh. The kitchen also lacks some basics like a kettle and toaster. For longer stays (we were there 5 nights) it would also be helpful to have spare towels. We often had to shower twice a day due to the heat and the towels were still wet with no spares.
