Guys. I’ve given many 5 star Airbnb reviews in the past. But until now, I guess I’ve never really experienced 5 star quality. Because THIS was AMAZING. Start to finish. Actually, even before the start- just in the lead up to the trip Pierre and Xeniya were able to give us wonderful recommendations of restaurants and places to go. My husband and I travelled with my mom as well as our two young boys, and there could not have been a better place to experience the beautiful city of Rio. Our boys and their boys became fast friends, and it absolutely made the trip. The view from the apartment is breathtaking. The layout of the apartment is just perfect, really I have no complaints. The only thing I wish is that we could’ve stayed longer, and that I could give them more than 5 stars! Book this place and stay as long as you can. You won’t find better hosts! An Airbnb apartment can be comfortable and well-appointed (which this one was), but the hosts are what make it a home. Book. It. Now.
