John's place is the best Rio has to offer. When you look at the apartment online it feels too good to be true, but it isn't. Wake up with views of Copacabana beach, steps to anything you want to do in Rio.
John is also a great host full of tips, and very accommodating to every request.
Airbnbing rarely gets better than a hammock over Copacabana beach. Treat yourself and book it!
