Luxurious Apartment Océan View Copacabana & Christ
Rémy is a great host and he goes out of his way to make you feel at home. I have stayed here a few times and I will be back again soon.

Great apartment in Leblon great location
Apartment has a very good location in Leblon, not far from the beach. Beautiful set up and all good!

Luxury sea front. The most beautiful in Copacabana
Carlos was a lovely host. He was immediately responsive whenever we messaged him. He was very gracious when it came to offering taking care of our luggage before check-in and after check-out for those of us arriving early/leaving late. We stayed during Carnaval season and had a group of 8. We were very comfortable and felt very safe in Copacabana! 100% I would recommend Carlos and his AirBnB to anyone visiting Rio. Thank you so much for having us!

Barrabella Vista Mar
Exceptional! My stay was wonderful, the pictures do not express how beautiful, cozy and comfortable the apt is. I went with my husband and a couple of friends, we love so much! The view is stunning, a wonderful location and the condominium is extremely safe.

Sugar Loaf Postcard Loft
Excellent location, the view is indeed much more beautiful in person and the location is perfect. The room accommodates two people well. I thought the air took a long time to freeze the whole room, but that didn't hurt our experience. The only suggestion is to leave a broom in the apartment, because because of the sand on the beach it is almost inevitable not to get dirty. No more, super recommend and would come back.

Your Place in Rio
Honestly, there is absolutely no complaints whatsoever about this property and the overall experience at this location, from the start of the trip until the end. Luiz provided an impeccable level of service. He was at the property to greet us with a warm welcome and showed us the property to it's entirety. Luiz was a phenomenal host. Very personable and easy to reach and super accommodating. The Let's talk about the property itself: The best beach view you will get. The apartment was really welcoming and stylish, with plenty of natural plants throughout the unit, which made the air very light. We had access to all the amenities (pool, hot tub, sauna, convenient store downstairs etc). The location was superb! A good balance between relaxed and fun, without the very busy, overwhelming environment as Copacabana. Great for family and traveling alone. Barra Tijuca is just a great area in general, with lots of restaurants on the strip. Truly a five star experience!

Privileged apartment in downtown Niterói
Nice stay in the humble apartment.

Nice house in Vidigal.
João is a great man and host! Always easily accessible, helpful and accommodating! The apartment is equipped with everything you need and is quiet, very quiet ! Bus stop and van from door ! 10 min to the beach of Vidigal!!! Neighbors greet each other and are very friendly and communicative! Would book the property again in the future!

Oceanfront villa in best location
In all seriousness, there's no better choice for a villa airbnb in Rio. Our group of 7 stayed at Matt's for 10 days over Carnival, and we couldn't have been happier with the house or with Matt himself. from the moment you walk in, you're going to realize you made the right call. it has lots of perfectly distributed rooms for groups, but you're with a group, I recommend you claim the primary suite on the top floor asap... it has a stunning balcony overlooking the beach, mountains, and sunsets. plus it has a bath where you can stare out across the ocean. The kitchen is functional (could use a little update) but every other room in the house is a delight to live in. And the pool/yard is exactly what you see in the photos... stunning. You won't regret booking this house. We were ready to move into it forever.

House with ocean views and close to the beaches.
We had a great time in Vidigal at Marlis Apartment!

Casa Amora - Your Private "Mini Resort" on the Lagoon Edge
Really nice place had a good time there and the host was really nice and responsive

Island retreat: 6 en-suites, swimming pool & barbecue grill
The host was very helpful, seeking to meet our specificities. The housekeeper, his Moacir, gave good tips, welcomed us well and provided all the support during our stay. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. The access to the house has its limitations as expected in a house on an island. Because it has a lot of green area, there is a lot of mosquito, but nothing that repellent does not solve.

Luxurious Apartment - First Line Praia da Barra
I would highly recommend staying here. My family and I have high standards and we were met with a warm welcome, the house was exactly as pictured. If we ever had a question Gabrielle made sure we had an answer and was always helpful. The attendants in the building are very welcoming as we became friends with some of them. This place is in a great location and if being active is something your looking for in a central area without the hotel vibe but being around them meeting people from all around it’s for you and/or your family between my morning walks with my son before my husband and other child met us we always felt safe, met other familiar face in the morning time and in the evening have met some wonderful people around in the restaurants with friendly service wonderful Food definitely coming back We as a Family have a deeper love for Brazil and can’t wait to return. Thank you Gabrielle and his mother for being a wonderful host!

Entire 2-bedroom Apartment with Air-conditioning and Ocean View

Very nice view, the apartment is just like the photos. The location is very good.

Luxury Beachfront Rio Life
What an amazing place to stay in such a great location that was close to everything. The view from all windows was spectacular especially letting that ocean breeze. This place felt like home. Location was spot on with nearby restaurants, bars, shops and anything else you could think of. Beach is right across the street. Our host was so amazing to communicate with and she was so sweet, patient, understanding and flexible with all my request and needs. Best part of this booking was our communication. We will definitely be back and hope to stay here again!

2 bedrooms in front of Beach and Stunning View
Super polite Daniele, met all our needs, impeccable apartment, exactly like the photos, smelling and clean, complete!! Smell towels and everything perfect!! I will definitely return

Barra da Tijuca Penthouse with Ocean View
Marilia's apartment is truly amazing, located in a privileged area with easy access to restaurants, markets and bakeries. Every detail overflowed a special touch of Marilia, noticeable since our arrival. From the cleaning the coffee table already set, a gesture full of affection that delighted us! Being in Rio de Janeiro and feeling at home, safely and comfortably, was an indescribable experience. No doubt, we plan to host again when we return. Also, I can't help but compliment Marilia's singular kindness. His service was exceptional, since the creation of a wonderful itinerary of restaurants, shops and sights, which made our trip even more special.

Excellent Beachfront Apartment Living Room 2 Bedrooms
Carlos is extremely attentive. we need to leave later, and since he was available, he let our check out after the deadline. excellent location.
