I arrived in the morning of 31 October 2020 from Colombia where I had spent all of the country's lockdown up to September of that year. Finally released and being told that my Colombian visa was expiring, I decided to fly to Rio de Janeiro. Before I hit the skies I decided to find a comfortable place through Airbnb, and what a great comfortable place it was. It actually still is, as I am still in the same house but have changed rooms, and thus this review for the first room. I was about to fly back to Colombia on 1 January 2021 but at the check-in I was told I could not board the plane due to not having the yellow fever vaccine. I was welcomed back by Elisa to stay for another 28 days in the house. In the meantime I sorted out the yellow fever vaccine. 29 January I was about to fly again to Colombia, but guess what? This flight got cancelled one day previously as the Colombian government decided to close flight connections with Brazil up to 1 March 2021 at least. And where did I decide to extend my stay? Yes, in Casa Bernardino. This should come with no more explanation; I simply love it here and can stay here for an eternity of lockdowns (well, no lockdowns here in Rio de Janeiro, and that's another good reason to be and stay in Rio right now).
