Premium Apartment with Beach View, Sauna and Swimming Pool
The place was amazing and beautiful views of the beach. I loved waking up every morning and looking out the windows. The place was huge, clean, and comfortable. The upstairs neighbors were very loud one night making it hard to sleep. But, that has nothing to do with the host and the place. Very close walk to the beach. Getting into the building is very easy. When calling a uber I recommend putting the name of the building in as some uber drivers would go to the park on the other side. The host were very communicative and responded very quickly. Thank you for letting me stay.

Renovated apartment, Side view of the sea, One block from the beach
If you're are looking for a great apartment that's sponsored by a great host, look no further. Hands down, the beat host since I began using Airbnb in 2016. Not only is Thales, responsive but caring. I arrived 6 hours early and had no where to go, Thales made sure that the apartment was ready to go and allowed me to occupy 6 hours earlier. The apartment was immaculent! Great views, super clean and comfortable. Its only 1 block away from the beach! If you're are looking for the ultimate housing experience in Rio, with a great host, stay here. I've been using Airbnb for 9+ years, this was my best experience!

Copacabana Beach - Av Atlântica (Sea View - 11th)
The location is amazing. It seemed like I was living a dream, with that wonderful view... that even on a rainy day, it's still amazing!!!! There are many restaurants nearby, supermarkets, great location, I highly recommend it! And the view is a show apart. And the apartment was very clean and fragrant, we loved it.

Luxuoso Frente Mar -Sauna - Piscina Rooftop - Gym
The place looked just like the pictures—modern, clean, and well-kept. Heron was very responsive once we checked in, which we appreciated. Communication before check-in was a bit limited, but overall a great stay!

Apartment w/ sea view Copacabana
I can say that I had a wonderful experience during the stay. The location is excellent, close to everything I needed, and the hosts were extremely responsive and caring. The environment was clean, organized and welcoming — I felt really at home. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it without hesitation.

Cozy penthouse with nice views
If you are coming to Rio, you should definitely stay at Magnu’s place! It’s a very luxury and beautiful penthouse! The host was very responsive and attentive to everything we needed! We will definitely come back next time we are in town! Thanks Magnus and Val for being such welcoming and great hosts!

Beautiful and decorated with balcony on Copacabana beach
I really enjoyed staying at this apartment. The location is great and the balcony has better views than those in the apartment's description! There are a bunch of restaurants and shops nearby.

Beautiful Studio overlooking Botafogo Beach
Very nice apartment and had a good time! Pleasant exchange with the owner!

Tranquillity & view on lagoon shore-Beach & Metro
I recommend totally this place, the house/apartment are great and in excellent conditions. Is a very private place to relax. The hosts are wonderful. All in our stay was ok.

House with ocean views and close to the beaches.
The view is even more beautiful than in the photos, the space is wonderful, close to the beaches and with a wonderful energy!!! Marli was super solicitous 🫶🏼 I'll definitely come back more often.

VIDIGAL CASA BRISA - RJ
I loved my stay, it was an amazing weekend and I can't wait to return. House is exactly like in the pictures, the view is even better! Comércios next to the house, snack bars,I particularly ordered at ifood which also delivers. My communication with Maria Fernanda was great, I responded quickly and I had no problems!

Tropical Escape with Swimming pool next to Leblon
Our 8-day stay at this location in Rio was absolutely amazing. The host organized an airport pick -up for my team and I and was there to greet us. The host gave us a tour of the home and left fresh fruit for us to enjoy. The home is in a great location with stunning views of the beach and is not too far from Copa and other attractions (20-30 minute uber drive). The home itself is well-maintained and was very comfortable for a group of 4. I’d highly recommend this home.

Beachfront apartment in the best location in Barra
My stay was wonderful, a pity that was short-lived. The location is perfect. The amazing view and the super cozy and spacious apartment. I felt at home! In addition, the condominium is super family, with clear information and good communication between the employees. The apartment is exactly as in the pictures and larger than expected. It is very close to Olegario, which has exactly the best bars, restaurants and everything you need like: market, bakery, gym… I liked a lot and didn't want to leave kkk for sure I will be back. I am grateful to Ana for all information and availability.

25m2 | 50" TV | Sea & Mountain View | Near mall 52
Great location, apartment as shown in the pictures, very well maintained. Full kitchen with quality appliances and cookware.

Beautiful Penthouse with a View of Sugarloaf Mountain / Urca
The apartment is exactly as described, as well as being super clean, organized and with all the basic utensils for the stay (linens, bath towels, kitchen utensils, etc. - all of good quality and clean). Adriana was super helpful the whole time, answering our questions and being flexible with our check-out. We had a small problem with a leak (a normal thing, and that did not affect our positive experience at all) and she helped us promptly. I highly recommend the apartment and the host, and I hope to be able to return other times.

Excellent apartment on Barra da Tijuca beach.
Alexandre is a great host! Organized, clean and well-located apartment, with bars, restaurant, pharmacy and market nearby. Beautiful beach in front of the residential complex. A 10 for you, Alexandre!!!

Excellent Apartment in Ipanema
Throughout the stay, the host Magda was extremely polite and flexible with what we requested, the apartment is close to Ipanema beach so you can walk there easily. Everything is well organized and quiet, I will return other times. I recommend it.
