View of the Blue Horizon - Sea
Paulo’s apartment is very beautiful and spotless with great crispy clean towels. The location and the views are really awesome. Paulo is a super host, he provided great recommendations on places to eat. We tried them all and all were fantastic. Paulo goes the extra mile to make sure his guests are comfortable and happy. We had a wonderful time in Rio and the accommodation was key to that. Thanks Paulo!!! We already want to be back😍

Copacabana Beach - Av Atlântica (Sea View - 11th)
Brenda was really nice and responsive! Apartment is in a great location! Really liked it and made my experience in Rio good! 😊

Stylish Apartment in Copacabana - 200m from the beach
Nice apartment, good location 👍

Ocean View @ Ipanema Beach High-End Vintage Design
What a CUTE place! Lots of character and attention to details. This apart is just stunning, since the wall decorations to the unique wooded windows. Mario was a very responsive, kind and helpful host, he was able to accommodate us with checking in earlier and was always checking on us, if we needed anything. When we did need help with something he was very prompt to get it done. Great location, close to everything you can possibly imagine you would need. A funny part of our stay was the broken rooster that lives nearby, he would sing anytime and all the time haha 1:30am, 3:30am, he was definitely broken or drunk. I’ll definitely come back. Be aware, Rio never sleeps, therefore noise will be part of your stay.

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!

Wonderful View
The apartment is just like the photos, the view is beautiful, the kitchen, the living room and the dining room, very nice and the view from the room, resting with the sound of the sea, spectacular. A few blocks away, many shops, restaurants and markets. The staff at the reception is very friendly. Thank you so much for the hospitality and for answering every concern, we will be back!

150m from the beach, next to Arpoador and Ipanema.
I greatly enjoyed staying at this apartment. The location is great -150 mts from Copacabana beach and 5-7 mins walk to Ipanema- including many options of cafes, restaurants and retail. I highly recommend the place for a single or a couple.

Postcard view & comfort for 4 people
Arno & Igor have applied their attention, creative talent, and care to creating a beautiful oasis in busy and exciting Rio. The view is so incredible that even our local friends couldn’t stop commenting on it and snapping photos. The layout and design carefully considers how to make effective use of the apartment resulting in a comfortable stay where we felt at home immediately. The beds were extremely comfortable and the bedrooms private. I stayed here with a friend/colleague during a project we were working on together and it was a wonderful place for us to collaborate and have as a base for our time in Rio. Urca was the perfect place to stay with beaches, food, grocery, and walking distance to significant sites and landmarks. In a busy city this little community was safe and walkable. Even as a solo female traveller I felt comfortable on my own, which elsewhere in Rio is definitely not recommended/the case. Stay here, you will be so glad you did.
Waterfront house rentals

Comfortable home, with a wonderful and safe view
Elite place for a vacation in Brazil

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.

Casa Amora - Your Private "Mini Resort" on the Lagoon Edge
Good price, great hosts. This was my 4th trip to Brasil, this is the safest place i have stayed. Very small monkeys come right up to the villa

Island retreat: 6 en-suites, swimming pool & barbecue grill
Giant house, ideal for our trip, which was a bachelorette party. He treated all the women hosted super well! Very well organized house, spacious and clean rooms, comfortable. Living room combined with the kitchen, with a large space, accommodating up to a couple to sleep on the sofa. Fully equipped kitchen, barbecue area with freezer, large table. We had no problems with the boat to make the crossing at any time, not even at dawn. I just remembered to bring repellent, as it is on an island, there are a lot of mosquitoes.

VIDIGAL CASA BRISA - RJ
I loved my stay, it was an amazing weekend and I can't wait to return. The house is exactly as shown in the photos, the view is even better! Shops next to the house, cafeterias, I particularly ordered from ifood, which also delivers. My communication with Maria Fernanda was great, she 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.

Incredible House w/ Pool and Breathtaking Views

Beautiful SEA VIEW Penthouse - Joatinga
Christina was absolutely amazing!! Place is stunning and she helped us throughout out whole trip 10/10 recommend!!!!
Waterfront condo rentals

Beachfront apartment in the best location in Barra
My stay was wonderful, too bad it was short. The location is perfect. The view is amazing and the apartment is super cozy and spacious. I felt at home! In addition, the condominium is super friendly, with clear information and good communication between employees. The apartment is exactly as shown in the pictures and larger than expected. It is very close to Olegario, which has exactly the best bars, restaurants and everything you need such as: market, bakery, gym… I really liked it and didn't even want to leave kkk I will definitely be back. I thank Ana for all the information and availability.

Gregory was a really kind host, helped us with any problems we had and the place was really nice.

Copacabana beach apartment SOUZA LIMA WiFi
I really enjoyed my stay! The location is very good, close to the beach and with an excellent restaurant next door. The host is extremely polite, committed and always available to help with anything. I recommend it!

Apartment on Copacabana beach block
It is my 3rd time in Rio so the area knew it, in this case the access was with facial verification to the building and I had surveillance 24 hours., the view of the beach by the spectacular window, we loved everything about this airbnb.. there the building in general should improve some small things but Mariel would also come back and helped us in what we needed.

Excellent apartment on Barra da Tijuca beach.
Alexandre is simply the perfect host, always helpful before, during and even after check-outs. The apartment itself was perfect. Everything was perfect, from cleaning to check-in and check-out. It's pretty much down to the beach so the location couldn't be better. I enjoyed my little 14 days there and will most likely come back

Experience Ipanema 1
