We decided to come to Rio for Carnaval only a couple of months before the event. We saw Sergio’s Airbnb was available and when the trip came we were super impressed with this location! The apartment is well decorated and lovely inside with a fully stocked kitchen, comfortable couches to watch TV, and a bed that fits 2 people plus a small mattress that Sergio can organize for one person. Sergio has been the only host that met us at check in and showed us around while giving us suggestions on where/when/what to do. The beds were comfortable, the shower was hot, the AC in the back room works great (and can get pretty chilly even if you’d like), and felt very safe with 24/7 security at the front door. There are places to go nearby and ALL of the iconic spots are no more than 15 min away by Uber. Overall it was a stellar experience and we 100% recommend this for groups of 3 or less coming to Rio.
