My friend and i stayed with Axel over Carnivale this year and can honestly say that our experience wouldn't have been nearly as good if we had stayed somewhere more commercial! Axel was so helpful and friendly, offering us fresh juice and coffee in the morning, taking us to a brilliant Bloco as well as arranging tickets for the Sambadrome, and of course the view is just incredible! We loved seeing Rio but were always happy to come back and relax on the balcony with the million dollar view! The only thing that could have been improved was that at the time there was hot water in only one shower, but seeing as it was so hot this didn't seem like a big issue. I would happily recommend this place to anyone who wants to stay in a gorgeous, charismatic part of town (Sta Teresa) and who wants a more alternative experience of Rio. We will definitely be back!

How can i put it? We came at Casa 48 like tourists and after 14 days we were leaving friends and place we call a home. It doesn't happen, does it? But it is true. We had the best of lucks to be at Casa 48 and be really a part of the life in Rio in the community and the life in that very special house. We are impatient to have another morning on the terrace while watching at the greatest piece of the world that exists... eating strange fruits, chatting and trying not to miss a monkey or a toucano with all the live circulating and buzzing around us. And we were rewarded to see 5 tucanos, 6 monkeys, 2 parrots and to meet personally with 2 giant butterflies :). The sounds you hear in the morning when you seat on the terrace... you hear one of the best compilation of sounds possible... many many birds and insects, the sound of the planes passing, the kids playing in the french school down there, the goat, the crazy rooster, the dogs and very often somebody singing or making music somewhere near. Casa 48 is at the top of a favela where around 200 people live. Living in the favela for us meant living in a community with people who are very open and friendly. Unfortunately we spoke only english and we couldn't get to long enough discussions, but we had the chance to be with them often at their celebrations when we didn't needed that much words. Many things are going on in "our" favela (as we started to call it after couple of days). There was a samba concert in the monastery with the great kids band from the favela - they are really good and special. Many people from all around the favela and the city dancing, chatting and eating together. There was another concert were the people were donating for a good cause. There was the birthday of somebody very nice. People are celebrating constantly and you are wellcome to be a part of it. We were and we feel lucky! At Casa 48 we felt so much at the place we want to be... We miss the bright light in the morning, the terrace and our chats, the rains and the winds, everything! We even miss the weird 6 o'clock whistling of the man selling bread around the neighborhood! We will be back for sure! As soon as we can! And everybody from Casa 48 can count on us when coming to Europe or even Bulgaria. You are so very welcome!

Axel's place is a dream for everyone who like to travel independently and want to get away from the touristic and commercial parts of the city. The house is just perfectly located on the top of a small and very safe favella with a view you never get enough from. Even if its raining you just sit under the rain shelter on the terrace and still feel you are a part of the city. I just highly recommend this amazing place with all the great people I meet in the house. Axel is a really nice, honest guy who knows Rio better then some of the Cariocas I met in Rio and he was always very helpful. Thumbs up, Axel.

A very unusual experience while staying at Axel's place. We discovered another and very interesting Rio. The view of course is amazing but what I liked the most was staying at a place with people from all around the world, and most of all having the opportuniy to live in a favela, which allowed us to change our opinion ! Axel was a very good host, recommending us great places to visit, to go out at night, which we could not have found in traditional tourist guides. Thanks a lot Axel for those great days !

We arrived in Axels beautiful home as two couples, each having a private room. Axel was very kind host. Due to his profession as guide, he could explain us a lot about Rio de Janeiro and especially what is going on in the Favelas. Thanks to him, we could understand a little bit more about how life works for those people far off the roads with glamorous hotels, nice beaches and caipirinha.

I was sure I left a comment after staying at Axel and I realize that not! Axel all my excuses! We spent three nights at Axel (early August) and it was really nice. The view is absolutely exceptional and unique! The apartment is large and pleasant. The atmosphere with the other other roommates is very friendly. The view from the room is also sublime. The apartment is at the top of a quiet favela and access by bus, which seems very complicated at first, is actually very simple. Axel told us lots of little tricks to get around in Rio is it very useful. I would certainly retained his apartment! Vive Rio!

Great place to spend time in Rio! Exceptional view and very nice host, Axel is a mine of information about the area and Rio

The best place I have ever stayed on Airbnb. The house is gorgeous, the hosts Valentine and Axel are great. The neighborhood favela is friendly and alive. The slightly removed location of the house just made it better--you are really at the top of the mountain. You should make time to see the art project Morrinho.

Piero our host was fantastic and helped us get to know the area, showed us all the local transport routes and checked in with us daily to make sure we were ok. The flat itself was stunning, overlooking all the main views in Rio from Christ the redeemer to sugar loaf mountain to copacobana beach and the lagoon. We would recommend this flat to anyone wanting the best experience in Rio.

Piero is an excellent host. Coverage probably has the most spectacular view and wonderful Rio de Janeiro. The location is fantastic, everything planned to the smallest detail to provide a perfect stay. The room is beautiful, circled by windows that give the impression of being asleep in the clouds. Everything was perfect. Unique experience. We love !!!!

Both Piero and his family are great hosts who made us feel like in our own home. The apartment owner, which is reflected in the images and is in a good and safe area close to the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. Lucky to have found this accommodation. Highly recommended.

Piero's penthouse is probably one of the Rio's most amazing places you could stay in. The views are just amazing and being on the 22nd floor above everyone else gets you a lot of privacy too. The bed might feel a bit small, but hey, it really doesn't matter, you're in Rio... No, you're on top of Rio! You should definitely book this place, at least for a few nights!

The flat was exactly as described, with an amazing view on Rio. We haven't met Piero, but Paola and her family were all extremely nice. Strongly recommand the place, thank you so much!

Wonderful view of the city and one of a kind place! It's centrally located as well and easy to get to all major attractions.

we were accomodated very well, the place is unique, very unusual: the small cottage on the top floor of a 20-storey building facing the cliff and the "border" of Copacabana and Ipanema gives a splendid view the day as blue sky and magical at night with the lights out of sight of the city, on the mountain side LEBLON, those of the favelas of Vidigal ETDE ROCIHNA that surround the mountain .... AMAZING !!! the apartment is very well located and connected by bus or metro to join one or the other side: Copacabana or Ipanema / Leblon Piero and his daughter and granddaughter were adorable our first day to the taxi they called for us to reach the airport on the last day !! A remake !! MUITO Obrigada Amelia and David

A wonderful stay in a beautiful city !! both Piero and Paola spectacular hosts. While you're at home you with complete privacy. The view of the terrace is unique !!!!

The apartment is beautiful! Very well located, close to the beach, supermarket, pharmacy, shopping, restaurants ... Richard is well liked and made me feel very at ease! Certainly recommend the fit!

great host. the place is probably smaller than I expected, but well decorated and clean. It is at street level so there is some noise.

Perfect! I have no other word to describe our stay. Fit with everything new, equipped with furniture and quality appliances. Towels and clean bedding and also great quality. Photos are true to space and location and wonderful. Not to mention the friendliness and promptness of Richard. Place to stay forever in my favorites and always repeat!

Richard is warm and welcoming, was super flexible on our arrival time, even when it got delayed due to traffic. He welcomed us quickly, showed us around, and left us to our devices. The apartment is perfect and the washer/dryer was amazing to have for 2 weary travelers with tons of dirty clothes. Great location and beautiful apartment with so many perfect little touches, such as the fruit and chocolate bars he stocked for us in the fridge. Stay here!!!

We love the flat Richard, decorated tastefully and equipped with all the items needed for a great stay. Bicycles also made a difference for a weekend with more activities! All instructions were passed in a clear and objective way and besides the great location! Super recommend!

Very good experience. Loft super well decorated, comodo, well located and with all the facilities you could want. Just do not recommend more pq will so many people want to go and it will not get more book =)

Amazing loft in the heart of Leblon. Richard is a great host and made himself available at all times, checking to see if things were going well periodically.

It's a very nice apartment with a supermarket right by the corner. We had a great stay and the comminication was great!

This was my boyfriend, two friends and I our first time in Rio. We had gone to Brasil before but never to Rio, and after a lot of research and safety concerns we decided to stay in Bruno's airbnb in Ipanema. These three days were incredible, I fell in love with Rio and especially Ipanema as it was beautiful, very safe and had so many things walking distance. Bruno was an amazing host he responded extremely quickly every time and was so helpful to all of us. His place was just as beautiful as in the pictures and it had everything we needed. I will definitely be coming back in Rio hopefully soon and would love to stay at Bruno's again. Everything was perfect!

We booked the apartment Bruno 2 couples during the World. Bruno was not in Rio at that time, so we did not get to meet him. However it has been very responsive to all messages sent and that's great. The apartment is in a building very well located in Ipanema and quiet. You can go in 5 minutes walk to the beach or lake. There are plenty of restaurant around the corner. The metro is 2 minutes. The apartment is perfect for 4, it is well equipped, wifi works nickel., It's clean and in good condition minimalist decor is very nice. The view is great too. Conclusion: We are really pleased with our stay. Without hesitation, I will return to Bruno.

I love this place! I stayed for my second time recently and was just as impressed as I was the first time. Beautiful Apartment, great location - very close to the beach, and Bruno is a wonderful host! The apartment is bright and gorgeous, and the view is spectacular to wake up to. The bedrooms are very comfortable and roomy, blackout shades were a nice touch for a restful sleep. Bruno was there to meet me and showed me around the neighborhood this time so I was able to discover even more cafes, restaurants and shops. This is a great place for a single female. I always felt comfortable and safe walking around by myself. Can't say enough great things about this place. Highly highly recommended.

Perfect all. The location of very good department. Exceeded the expectations. One detail that we had in mind that the department did not have to save the car parking. Excellent equipment within the deoartamento. Very sastifecho.

It was a fantastic apartment comfortable for 4 people. It was a short walk from the beach and had a ton of great restaurants a few blocks away. Safe place to stay with security at the entrance around the clock. would definitely come back again.

A word used to qualify the department Bruno: Ma-ra-vi-llo-so, everything is luxurious, everything works perfectly, the location in the neighborhood of Ipanema is just perfect. Cable TV, Internet excellent. Towels and bedding in amounts to be used without any restrictions. Perfect washer and dryer. Ipanema beach 400 meters. In summary it has everything and lacks nothing.

Had peaceful stay at Bruno's apartment, which is fashionable and modern. Ideal place to enjoy Ipanema Beach. Comfortable beds and good shower. Close to one of the best beaches, on a quiet street. Apartment has tons of light and a pretty view. Would stay here again. Obrigado Bruno!

Great location! We felt very safe in the area!

The stay in the appartment of Max Drew was grat. Its a great appartment in a great location and all people are great. Simplzy its great. My roommate broke a part of a Door, as soon Max send me the bill i ll pay the bill. Thx Max

Max was thoughtful and kind, leaving us recommendations about the surrounding areas and even a parking permit. The apartment is very comfortable and was in excellent shape. It's wonderfully located, short walk to the beach, the subway, restaurants and everything. We would definitely come back. Cheers, Max !

All perfect, location near beach and business, safe for a night out and Matthias always attentive to us.

The apartment is a very good size, with decent bedrooms and a large terrace - but it does feel a little unloved and in the need of updating, in particular the kitchen and bathroom. The location is good, it is very convenient for Copacabana Beach and the Metro station. Cooking equipment is very basic, but if you do not intend to cook that's not a problem - we were there a week, so wanted to eat in a couple of nights, and preparing simple meals was a challenge.

The apt was nice and in a great location only a couple of blocks from the beach and shopping. Thanks for everything Max!

The Apartment was well located and has everything one needs. The building of the apartment of the apartment and the apartment itself aren't new and not the cleanest but it was fine. We enjoyed the big terrace and eating outside every day (the only dining table is outside). The general location in copacabana is good, only two blocks away from the beach.

Max was in contact prior to the stay and ensured we had all the information we needed for a smooth check in. The apartment is spacious, with high ceilings and a large living space with a sturdy desk for work (I was working) and a huge balcony. Despite being only on the 1st floor there was very little noise from the road outside, which is quiet and contains no traffic, just the gentle vibe of the locals going about their business, it was rather pleasant. The wi-fi was strong and there is a decent TV and sound system. The bathroom has a very good shower with strong power water which is hot. One of the best aspects of the apartment is the location which is perfect. A few minutes walk to the metro one way, and a few mins walk to the Beach the other way, its perfectly located. Its also next to the Copacabana Palace hotel which means it benefits from the slightly more upmarket surroundings, bars and restaurants. I can highly recommend this apartment and I will be staying here again for sure on my next visit to Rio.

Great apartment and location, exactly as described. It's clean and comfortable, with easy acess to beach, stores, restaurant, transportation. Max is helpful and attentive. Recommended by me and my friends.

The apartment is perfect for those seeking comfort. Great location.

The apartment is amazing!! Better than in the photos, very well equipped kitchen, big shower and bedroom, air-conditioning and Wi-Fi working really well. The location is perfect if you like night life (just 3 mins walk to the arches of Lapa), and there's many food options in the same street. Luiz Felipe was very attentive to our needs and always only one message away. We really had a great time and would highly recommend this beautiful apartment, great value for money!! Maybe the only thing missing is a washing machine. O apartamento é legal demais!!!

My wife and I simply loved the apartment. The space is incredible, well decorated, true to the published ad. The location is ideal for both leisure and business travelers. We emphasize the excellent communication of the host Luiz Felipe, always fast in the answers and very attentive, always. We would rather stay in his space. We recommend!

The apartment is wonderful, limpíssimo, super comfortable, equipped with everything necessary. 24 hour doorman. Super indicate! Luiz the service was perfect, gave us every assistance. Certainly I return. The location is great, in Lapa entrance, close to the bars. On the corner is a snack bar where the breakfast is very good. That is our hosopedagem note was 10. thanks

Very good apartment! Well located, can you meet a lot of things on foot, has the Mem de Sa Street with really cool bars that are very close to the apartment. For those who want to see the sights of the city, has no better option. Luiz was very attentive to us, good people face. I recommend and plan to return soon.

The apartment is exactly as described on the site. Clean, comfortable, beautiful decor, and well located. The stay was very good. Luiz is very helpful and was always ready to help and answer our questions. The location is very good, we visit a lot of walking, the subway and the VLT are also very close which greatly facilitates the displacement by the river. I personally had no problems, but we noticed that the streets next to the Lapa arches require more attention and careful when they walk on foot, they offer greater risk of assault. We witnessed some scenes from other people who had stolen goods and stolen those streets. But nothing that a little attention and care can not solve. The apartment also located in front of the military police headquarters, which offers greater security.

Excellent stay and host. About the apartment: perfect, as in the photos, with all the comfort and practicality. Super clean and organized, great location, very close to Lapa out dinner and various sights to go on foot even. About the host: Luiz was extremely attentive and promptly cleared all our doubts. More than recommend and hope to return and stay in again soon. Thanks again for all the help and support that was offered. Hug Luiz.

The apartment is beautiful, well decorated and Luiz has great care with the organization, the place clean and attention to the guest. I did not know him personally, but I had all the support over the phone. My stay was one of the best in Rio and recommend it to everyone!

Francisco and Paulo were fantastic from the first time I walked into the place they made me feel very welcome. Gave me great tips on how to get around the neighbourhood, and made me feel like I was part of the family. They are both very warm and generous people.

It was exactly what I was looking for - I LOVED my stay here. The house is quite high up at the end of a street and it seems nested in a little forest, hence you wake up to birds chirping with an incredible view of the mountain on one side + the lagoon and part of Rio on the other. No need to go anywhere for sunset... what you can see from here is truly impressive - all sorts of orange hues develop as the sun sets behind the mountains on the far side. The hosts are responsive, kind-hearted and welcoming people and they'll help with anything. They really put some effort into the room, providing the unexpected for your stay. On the plus side, they have fast internet at home, which definitely makes a difference compared to the general standard in Rio. I look forward to my next stay here... Thanks guys!

You feel privileged, because the view, the comfort of the house, and the opportunity to "live" with an excellent pianist, will make your stay be out of the ordinary and above expectations. Just buy a handkerchief, because in the farewell, will want to cry for want of Aspen and Sophia, the most beautiful Lulus of the Pomeranian of Rio.

Just the BEST Airbnb of my life ! The house is located in a natural forest with a quiet neighbourhood it's a very peacefull place. The house is very spacious and the rooms are just perfect, with a big double bed, a private bathrooms and terrace with hamac. Francisco is a great host very happy and attentive to our needs all alongs the trip. I strongly recommand this place !

Francisco and friends are lovely hosts. The room and private bathroom are spacious and clean. Francisco is a very talented pianist and hearing him play is a bliss. I loved having breakfast at the terrace while watching a variety of colorful birds. You'll need an Uber to come and go, but it's an affordable ride. Highly recommended place!

My stay was excellent. The house is airy and comfortable and fits in perfectly with the photos of the announcement. It has a beautiful view and you can see different species of birds and even toucans in the morning. The host Francis was very kind and attentive. Always at the ready for any question. Very clean room with towels and clean and smelling bedding. I was surprised and recommend.

This was a great AirBnB experience. The house is a 20-minute walk up or down from the street Fonte da Saudade. It is on the top of a hill between Lagoa and a "community" (Morro dos Cabritos) that leads down, on the other side, to Copacabana. The house itself is large, and managed by two very nice and welcoming young people. The suite I was in had its own private bathroom, and a deck wtih a hammock that overlooked Lagoa. Up on top of the hill, the climate is nice. As a guest I could use the kitchen, the living room, and the common deck with a breakfast table, also overlooking Lagoa. For me, it was a perfect retreat. There is a VW van that operates up and down the hill during the day, and otherwise the option is to walk, or take a taxi or app-car service to one's destination.

Thanks. We feel very good with hospitality in an incredible atmosphere as an oasis in the middle of town.

Just prefect!!! The host and the apartment. Botafogo a nice area to stay in with good restaurants, shops, service and easy connections by metro, buses, lots of taxis to other parts of Rio. Love to recommend this opportunity to other visitors.

The apartment was clean and very comfy. It's close to both Flamengo and Botafogo subway stations, and the neighbourhood is safe. Paulo was very flexible and easy to get in touch with!

Paulo was an excellent host, he was very helpful and responsive. The apartment was clean, cozy and had everything you need. Very well located, and easy to catch bus, metro, cabs. Supermarkets, pharmacys, restaurants near the apt. We slept perfectly, very quiet and had a comfortable bed. Doormen were also very helpful and friendlies. We will stay again there! Thank you!

Great experience in the hosting space Paul, who was very attentive and caring from the time of booking. The apartment is very well located in an area with plenty of shops, easy access to public transportation, the airport Santos Dumont, the restaurants and bars. The space is cozy, quiet, clean and organized, and beat perfectly with the description and photos. Recommend!

Dept. very good! Everything clean and tidy on arrival. Everything as seen in the photographs, excellent for single person or a couple. Paulo always willing to answer our questions and helped us. Totally recommended !! ;)

great apartment in a great location, exactly as seen in the photos. Surely return to staying there.

We spent three enjoyable days at Paulo to visit Rio. Very clean and safe, with concierge at the entrance of the building. Located 5/10 minutes walk from the metro and next to various bus stops they will be very easy to visit Rio. The area in a central position to reach the southern and northern area of Rio in a short time. Furthermore Paulo showed himself very available when we needed it, thank you Paulo. It is undoubtedly a very good host.

The experience staying at Paulo's apartment was the same if not better as my 12 prior visits to Brazil, great! The apartment was very nice and clean. The location of the apartment was also very nice. Paulo was very helpful with providing me with information regarding the area. The apartment is located close to different forms of transportation. I would return to Paulo's apartment..

We stayed in Carlas apartment during our days in Rio. The apartment is really near to the Copacabana and was so cute and lovely decorated. We enjoyed our time there so much and I will surely recommend it!!! Thank you so much Carla for letting us stay there and all the nice hints on how to get along in Rio!!!!

The apartment was exactly as published, tiny but well equipped and very comfortable photos. The neighborhood is the best of Copacabana. Would lack a pizzeria baking dish. We are very pleased with the apartment. It is recommended for couples.

The listing was exactly as expected. Upon arrival we picked up our keys from the doorman and just handed it back at check out time. Carla provided lots of helpful tips and advice within her description, and overall it was a great experience. The apartment was clean and spacious for two people.

We loved Carla's flat. I lived in Rio over 10 years ago and chose her flat for the location. The space is very charming and has everything you'll need. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. We had a special request and Carla was very gracious. The place is 2 minutes or less walking to the beach. 5 minutes to the metro. When I return to Rio, I hope I can stay there again. I can't say enough positive things. You will be happy that you chose her place.

Very nice apartment, super well located and Carla was always attentive. I would definitely return

My experience was great in Rio De Janeiro and with Carla's apartment. The apartment was everything she describe and she was friendly and quick to answer any question I had. If you are looking for a nice studio that is affordable and close to Copacabana beach, then I would recommend renting this place.

Carla's appartments have perfect location. 200 meters from the Capocabana beach, a lot of shops and cafes is near. Carla is good person, she is solve all problems if we have any! I reccomend visit her appartments!

The apartment was really well located and has all you need for a few days in Rio. Carla was very friendly and gave us very useful tips. Gracias!

Wonderful experience! Location excellent, attentive hosts. I will return for sure.

We Petrópolis, we have easy access to Rio de Janeiro, but good experience we can enjoy our tours and return to the apartment of Clarice. Not to mention the reception made by Paul and Mrs. Lilian. Without any doubt return in other opportunities. Worth it!

Place really amazing. Very easy access to Corcovado. very attentive and nice hosts. The coverage is really very beautiful, nice, clean and fragrant. We stayed in 4 people and it was really cozy. I am grateful too to Clarice, Mrs. Lilian and Paul for the excellent hosting.

It was an excellent experience, we were awed by Lilian and Paulo always attentive to any need, discreet and very kind. My daughters were thrilled with goodies Lilian and we saw the monkeys! The apartment is beautifully decorated, comfortable, cozy and is more beautiful than the pictures !!! thanks for everything, we felt like home!

Highly recommended! Clarice and her mother are kind and thoughtful. The place is cozy and perfect for those looking to stay away from the hustle. I'll be back soon.

Great place for those who want to escape the hectic city without being apart of the facilities that it offers!

cool place. super clean and big. kind of difficult to find the place since GPS was showing the location incorrectly. Interesting, laid back, big place to relax

The place of Lilian is very nice, cozy and comfortable for a family. But what makes this place special is your hostess Lilian! Miss you! Thank you for your kindness, my son Jesus and we enjoyed you. We recommend anyway !! Abrazos from Chile!

Lucas was very prepared, I understand why he's a superhost :) Everything was well planned, a he was very helpful. Thanks Lucas!

The apartment is very nice, exactly like in the pictures. Well located close to markets, pharmacies, banks, restaurants. It offers beach chairs and umbrella. Despite being located on a street with a lot of movement, there is no noise at night. Lucas is quite considerate and cares about the comfort of guests.

Lucas' place was perfect, we stayed 1 week and it felt like a second home. The apartment has all the essentials and more and is very well located, has everything around. Copacabana beach was 2 blocks and there are many shops, restaurants, drug stores, supermarkets and even McDonald's in the same avenue. Lucas is an excellent host, always attentive to the questions or needs that arise, definitely we will come back here next time in Rio.

Again grateful for having received the return to Rio on the end of our trip. Thank you for your willingness Lucas! You're a great host! Greetings!

I stayed with a good friend of mine at Lucas apartment and we really loved everything about it! It is well located, spacious, clean, safe and has everything you need for a great holiday in wonderful Rio. We felt very at ease and had a great time staying in Copacabana. Lucas is a super friendly host and always replied very quickly to all of our questions. Me and my friend can highly recommend this apartment and we would definitely stay again at Lucas apartment next time :).

I recommend staying in the department of Lucas, conveniently located a block from Copacabana beach, public transportation right in front of the door, clean, well presented, everything working, pleasant and reliable place to spend the days in Rio. Although we didn't met Lucas he was always attentive to our questions. The only thing we missed was a kettle (well, we like to drink a lot of tea). Thank you Lucas.

We spent a wonderful vacation in Rio =)) 15 days from too much sun in the comfort of the apartment of Lucas! Our host, always very attentive and concerned about the details, let us confident that we would quiet hosting days. We have proved the reliability of the photos reality of apartment, very cozy and tasteful. Bed and comfortable sofa, splits good quality and fast internet. All as described in the ad and a little better! Despite the location on a busy road, the apartment is very quiet, which surprised us positively! Recommend to everyone! Camila and Daniel

We had an excellent stay in the department of Lucas. He has always been outstanding and collaborative. He has endeavored at all times and has always given us the right answers to our requirements. Your Guide Guest is very useful and we use it all the time. Cleaning department has been excellent. The bathroom and kitchen have worked wonders. In summary we had a very good experience. All very good and nothing wrong. The location of the apartment is excellent.

This apartment is really, really great and the host Adriana ist an amazing person. Thanks Adriana for preparing such a warm welcome with a fridge that contained everything we needed. I never had such a good bathroom with a perfect shower. For sure we will stay there again.

This was my first experience on Airbnb and could not have been better! The apartment is comfortable, bright, airy, limpíssimo and well decorated and well equipped, and has a prime location in Ipanema, next to the Lagoon and near the beach, shops, restaurants, etc. Adriana is super helpful and welcomed us with fruit, cake, breads and cold meats and other treats that made us feel welcome. I recommend to anyone who wants a season in the city Wonderful.

We love it! Great apartment and very helpful hosts !! Super indicated!

The location of Adriana 's apartment is excellent and she keeps it immaculately clean. She has taken extra trouble to furnish it with quality amenities and had well stocked fridge and pantry that made our life a lot easier. Adriana is very helpful and she was always there to answer questions or provide helpful suggestions. In our opinion, she is a true ' superhost' and sets the bar for other superhost. She made our visit to Rio even more enjoyable.

Adriana's space is incredible. It exceeded all my expectations. It was the first time I used the airbnb and everything went perfect. The apartment is better than in the photos, all new, impeccable cleanliness, comfortable beds, clean towels and packed one by one, hot water in all taps, Split up in the room. The location is also great, close to various points of leisure, food, public transport. The hostess is cute, from the moment we hired the apartment until after our departure. She cares about the smallest detail, even greets us with a delicious breakfast. For sure the stay was a happy stop on my tour. I just have to thank you.

Very nice and beautiful apartment, clean and good located. Like in the pictures. Very nice host too ! I clearly recommend this place !!

Adriana totally deserve her title of superhost! The location of her apartment is very nice. She was so kind to prepare a breakfast for us when we arrived, it makes all the difference! The apartment is very confortable, super clean and nice!thank you adriana also for your advices.

Adriana was truly an amazing host! Before we arrived in Rio, Adriana had contacted our group of 4 to let us know that her building's main elevator was down. Because of this "inconvenience," Adriana offered to pick us all up from the airport! Talk about super sweet, right?! After arriving at Adriana's home, she walked us through her modern and centrally located home and made sure to stress that she would be available at anytime, should we need her during our stay. She also left us with a book of places to see and local restaurants. In addition, Adriana provided us with snacks and all the necessary toiletries that we would need during our stay. Adriana's home is in the perfect location close to all of the best shops and restaurants in beautiful and trendy Ipanema. We were also only a couple of blocks from post 10 at Ipanema beach. I would highly recommend Adriana's home to anyone visiting Ipanema! We truly enjoyed every second of our stay :-)

Great apartment. Leo is a nice and honest guy with good taste. The location in Botafogo is perfect. Supermarket just below and open every day till late. Loved my time there. Rio is awesome.

Leo and his friends are super friendly. They sometime invite us party!! Also they speak english very well so we didn't have probrem about communication. We spent joyfull time in RIO!!! They are intelligent, kind and happy people, so we highly recommend you to stay his house.Thank you Leo so much.

The reservation was canceled 13 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The room is safe, clean and comfortable. The location is excellent: shops, restaurants and glossary stores are all around and it's convenient to every sights in the city. The host is super nice, friendly and helpful. Thank your hosting Leo, we really enjoy our stay in Rio de Janeiro, and hope all guests have lovely memory of their trip as well.

Leo is an excellent host, very friendly and generous with things around the house. The location is perfet. The building is clean and the apartment is comfortably furnished and has many amenities, Super recommended.

Leo is a kind, interesting and wonderful host. Many things have already been said by the previous tenants so I can only add that staying at Leo's house was indeed a very good experience. The room, tiny yes and with a bunk bed, however, you've got your own private entrance, private bathroom and full access to the living room (wifi) and kitchen (well equiped and modern). So the size of the room wasn't that important to me as I only slept in there. The location is excellent - five min walk to the Metro. 10 min walk and you'll see Botafogo Beach or 15 min and you'll get to Flamengo Beach with it's lovely park where you can walk, bike or jog. Next to the house you'll find a good priced and large supermarket with everything you need. At the corner of the street there's a taxi stand as well as several bus stops so it's really quite easy to get around. The neighbourhood where the flat is located is quiet and tidy. So you'll have the comfort being close the centre (Lapa) as well as some of Rio's many beaches (and shopping centers). And the famous Copacabana is only 6 min ride away by Metro. So if you're looking for a place with all the comfort you need in Rio Leo has the place. And as I said he's very kind and has a top notch flat located in a safe, nice and quiet neighbourhood close to everything in Rio. I give Leo my best recommendation and I enjoyed all of my 9 days staying at his place.:-)

Leo's apartment is immaculate and Leo is a very kind host. The room is tiny, but comfortable and the apartment is spacious and light. I felt free to use the kitchen and living room. Leo was very busy when I was there so I didn't interact with him much, but when I did, he was very sweet and spoke perfect English. He had a friend visiting who was also very nice. I felt very safe and comfortable sharing the space with both of them, which is exactly what I wanted since it was my first time with AirBnB. Also the neighborhood is great and close to public transit.

The apartment is beautiful and comfortable. Leo is an excellent host and made us feel right at home. The location is also very good. I recomendadísimo!

Jeanne's place was very nice. Just as in the pictures. The terrace on the rooftop is connected to their other houses that they use for AirBnB. NEvertheless, you feel very private with no concerns. The views from apartment are amazing. You have all amenities, also ability to do some laundry, which was very useful for us. You can easily walk to Leblon beach in 10 mins or less. If you do not feel like walking at late night, you might take taxi, although we found it hard to get the taxi take us, so we took taxis from nearby Sheraton. However, to come back the taxis took us there easily! Jeanne was very friendly and welcoming. Overall very good experience and very good value for the priceless views and feel.

Great little place, with a great view over the Sheraton beach. Jeanne was very helpful. She arranged for transport from the airport which was useful.

This beautiful gem of a beach house in the hills of Vidigal was the perfect place for me and my partner. Above the beach and minutes from the vibrant shops and walking distance from Leblon beach and shopping. The hosts we really fantastic, friendly and know exactly what's important for a great stay, comfy bed, air-con and great kitchen to make coffee and meals. This place is perfect for a couple to experience amazing Rio. 5 stars.

Everything was as described in the listing. Beautiful view and very secluded for a place in Rio. The fact that it´s in a pacified favela may be concerning at first but it´s really a safe neighborhood, and its very close to leblon. Jeanne was very accomodating and even helped us arrange tours through the city with her neighbor Mauro. Great value!

The house is amazing! It has a great view and is very comfortable. Jeanne was so kind and helpful. The location is not great (I didn't like Vidigal beach) but the view would be not possible in Leblon or other beaches. You need to walk 10/15 min to reach Leblon beach or to take a bus, 2 min to Leblon or 15 to Ipanema. I absolute recommend this house, except for older people or kids under 3 (lots of steps to the street!). We had a great time in Rio!!!

Really great location. Appartment is equipped with all needed! Jeanne is very friendly. Perfect stay also if you want to just visit in Vidigal beach. Our car GPS was not able to allocate the address but we still found it easily.

Atilio Jeanne and were really wonderful !!!! Since we arrived we were made to feel at our home. The place is a dream, unbeatable view, super clean and decorated with exquisite taste. We are delighted to have stayed with them, we have the best memories! Back! Thanks Jeanne and Atilio !!!

Excellent little hideaway in Rio. Great location if you want to be away from the main beaches and need a quiet spot to relax. Uber or taxis are affordable from the Sheraton across the road but harder to get them to come directly to the property. Also the traffic runs one way down Ave Neiymeyer on weekdays until 10.30am so you might need to walk down to Leblon to get taxis etc.

I think it's the best window is in Copacabana !!! Everything immaculate, a department recycled, clean with very good care of the security people. It is as it looks in the photos, thank Brenda and Balu, that although we never saw, were always attentive !!

first of all - location. the apt is located in the center of CopaCabana beach, near to a market, supermarkets, restaurants and bars (and even cinema), amazing cleaningness, Brenda is extremely helpful and kind, and the view is gorgeous. definitely takes up our expectations.

Excellent location of the apartment, everything was the way it should be. Brenda was great at communication and this trip was worry-free for that reason.

Brenda was an excellent host. She responded quickly and to as many emails I sent her just before I got to her flat. The flat was lovely and the window.....well, what a view!! Just like in the images she has posted. Amazing! Brenda's flat is in prime location, Just half way Copacabana Beach and to a short 15min walk along the beach to Ipanema Beach. And just at the back of the flat a million restaurants, supermarkets, pharmacies and busses to the Centre. The flat was also clean and nicely decorated and I have no problems at all with the toilet. The drainage must have been totally fixed because it worked just fine. I will definitely use her flat again if in Rio

Brenda was a great host, everything was so great you feel like you are home,it's a perfect location for everything.. It's very very safe compare to back streets in Rio de Janeiro.. There is a really nice restaurant downstairs called Devasa, it's great food as well.. If you are picky about the food, you can grab from Subway or cross the street place called Zot great hamburger :) One great thing about Brenda's apartment, if you go to beach and if you need internet access, you can still have a wi-fi signal if you stay in the same line with the window, I never thought about getting a signal from that far from the beach but shortly rent the apartment before someone grabs it, enjoy Rio, enjoy Copacabana.. :)

Brenda was very responsive whenever I needed some information. Apartment is in excellent location, close to everything (from drugstore to grocery stores and more). Although it is small in size it is very cozy and I would definitely go back. Simao, the doorman, is awesome :-)

The department does have an incredible view of Copacabana beach and saw perfectly carnival blocos de rua, with the advantage of being on the 11th floor, closing the window did not mind the noise. It is very well located on Av. Atlantica beachfront and a few meters from restaurants and supermarkets. Us were a couple with 3 small children, who slept in the living room on the sofa bed and extra mattress we left Balu. The room has good air conditioning and a window with another fantastic view of the beach, and the living room has a ceiling fan, which was sometimes insufficient by the intense heat of Rio. We could sleep comfortable, though not as comfortable to eat because no table (only the kitchen counter) and has no stove or oven (although a microwave and an electric grill, plus a toaster and blender that were very useful for breakfast). It also has cable TV and wi fi. The doormen were very friendly, especially the morning, and Balu was friendly with his recommendations on the consultations we make him. The place is very safe, no porters 24 hours. (We arrived at 1 am because our flight was late) and you could walk safely down the street, which was very busy all the time. It was a very good stay and I recommend it!

The apartment is conveniently located in front of Copacabana and has stunning views, has a refrigerator, grill, utensils, and air conditioning. The wifi is fast!. the only thing missing is stove.

I could not be luckier staying with Aline! She was an incredible host, and I don't know my trip could have been any better. Her house is always kept spotless, no matter how many guests are present. The location is perfect for being social or just sight seeing and tourism. Aline makes you feel extremely welcome, and her English is great and only getting better. I would highly recommend staying with Aline to everyone. I know I will back staying with her in no time!

Aline is a very nice host. She is very creative, kind, and extremely helpful. Her flat is clean and comfortable. She also provided me with one of my most interesting experiences in life by taking me to one of the larges favelas (Complexo do Alemão) and having a walk there - without taking part any preorganized tours. Alltogether, I only have positive expiriences while staying with Aline and strongly recommend her as a host.

Great apt exactly as described . There was a problem with the aircondionair which Aline got fixed the very same day,

We loved Aline's place! Great location. Beautiful view of the arches. Millie enjoyed sleeping on the hammock as the night life pulsated below. Easy access to everything we wanted to do.

She did ....and without even being there!!!.... I unfortunately did not get to meet her, our sched did not meet up be she is definitely the real deal host with the most. the apt was nice original and close to a lot of action Thanks for everything Aline. I hope you had a blast at the music festival. Hope to check you out again on my next visit. Inshallah

Great gaff !! We felt at home, the place is wonderful and unique. Aline very helpful, always ready to serve us. We had a great stay and when we get the chance, we will return again!

Apartment in-Cri-ble! From the pictures it gives to realize just a little bit of wonderful vibe that is the place. All minunciosamente decorated, comfortable, pretty clean, etc. All infrastructure to spend the days very well. Certainly plan to go back !!

This is a great place to stay in Rio. The interior decoration was super fun, very clean, convenient location and the sounds from the clubs at night minimal so sleep was easy.

Carlos and Beth are so nice and helpful.They made us feel like home. it's our fist time BNB. They are one of the reason we love RIO! Location is very close to the beach. Room is perfect! Best choice! Highly recommend!

Excellent reception and facilities in the house very friendly couple Beth and Carlos! I was quite at ease throughout the house is impeccable charm, organization and comfort! Room very comfortable and spotless bathroom! Anyway, back and recommend!

They were always attentive to our requests. They are very helpful, they are like family. The neighborhood is divine and is located in the best area, serca all.

Awesome experience in Rio, thanks to both Carlos and Beth. We really appreciated the brief introduction to the city's most iconic turistic places and the maps they provided. Few people take time to explain guests such valuable information. Cool place to rest, neat and cozy.

My girlfriend and me had a lovely experience at Carlos and Beth's house. They are very friendly and helpful people. The moment we arrived Carlos recivied us, showed us all the house and gave us a lot of information about things to do (which he kept doing throught our whole stay). We shared a beer and had a great time. The place is just as good as it looks and the neighbourhood is very nice. I would recommend anyone to stay in this apartment.

Carlos and his wife were absolutely amazing and we had a very nice stay with them. They were super helpful and caring and made us to feel really welcome and like at home. They made our stay in Rio truly great. I would warmly recommend their lovely flat. The flat is located in a nice and convenient part of Rio, with a beach right at the door step. The flat is tastefully decorated, clean and with all amenities on hand.

Carlos' place is simply great in Rio! Extremely well located, very comfortable and quiet. Carlos was an amazing host! He welcomed us very nicely and we had a great stay

Carlos and Beth are superb hosts. Very informative and helpful. Their apartment is always clean, very well equipped and in a great location. We had the most pleasant stay and would be happy to return.

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment had a stunning view of the lagoa. We felt safe and it was conveniently situated so that we could walk to Copacabana or take a cheap taxi. Valeria answers your questions promptly and was flexible with our time of stay. We requested an extra night. The apartment was clean, air conditioned, the beds were comfortable, rooms had buit in cupboards and we had plenty or room with all the amenities we needed. The tv could be viewed in English and it was wonderful to have free wifi so we could research places to go and keep in contact with family. We were 2 couples and a baby of just under 1years. We would highly recommend the accommodation.

Great views, good location except the roads without possibility to cross to reach the lake or Ipanema, near Metro (but unfortunately the station was closed during most of our stay)...

This is a beautiful residence located extremely close to a downtown area with lots of shopping and a 10 min walk from both copacabana beach and ipanema. The description was extremely accurate, the neighborhood was safe and Valeroa provided an excellent sheet with resources to include nearby restaurants, bars, tips, and other sites. She was always only just an email away and went out if here way to ask for me phone number when I was confused about a listing.

Valeria was very helpful and communicated with us well. The apartment is in a very good neighbourhood and the views are fantastic. Easy to get to Copacabana and Ipanema beaches and the metro is close by to get into town. You can flag a taxi at the front door almost immediately to go anywhere.

The apartment was spotless, clean, well equipped, nothing was missing, even tourist guides, wifi, a second set of keys, etc. The location is quite strategic (7 minutes walk from the nearest subway station - another even closer will open soon - and 10 minutes from Copacabana and Ipanema), right on the lake (perfect for walking or cycling). The view from the apartment is amazing, the pictures do not even do justice to reality. We have not met Valeria, unfortunately, but the exchanges messages were easy and fast. And we could get the keys from the guard easily, as park our car in the yard (closed) of the building. In short, a perfect stay!

Excellent location. Beautiful view. Cleansed. Teams have air conditioning but are noisy.

Valeria was a great host, we spent 7 days in her LAGOA apt during new years and everything was outstanding. She was very responsive to all our requests and very accommodating. The apartment is very central and close to both Copacabana and Ipanema as well as many restaurants and nightlife.

Valeria is an incredible host. She was very communicative over (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) and helpful about things around the neighborhood. The building is very safe and the doormen and neighbors were very friendly. The apartment is very big, almost too big for 2 people. But we enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you so much!
