We stayed at BNB Gávea during Carnival, and it was an unforgettable experience. Raul, the host, was incredibly welcoming and patient—always ready to share local tips, recommend hidden gems, and help us navigate the neighborhood.

Unfortunately, my experience was quite negative due to the lack of signage and lighting in the backyard, making the area extremely unsafe for elderly guests and children. I didn’t stay overnight—I only booked a day-use option through the platform for my birthday celebration and that of a close friend. As shown in photo 20, there’s a gap beside the staircase leading down to the yard, which becomes completely invisible at night because there’s no lighting in the area. While descending the stairs, I tripped over the gap and hit my head on a stone, resulting in six stitches above my eyebrow. To clarify—no alcohol was consumed during this incident. This could have easily turned into a much more serious accident. I reported the issue to the couple managing the booking, but they showed no intention to address or fix the hazard. Aside from that, there’s nothing else to comment on since I didn’t actually stay overnight. My only warning to future guests: this property is not recommended for families with young children or older adults due to the significant safety risks.
Staying at MC Flats Ipanema Beach Star was an absolute delight. The apartment is spacious and perfectly located in the heart of Ipanema—just a short walk to the beach, with a vibrant mix of restaurants, cafes, and local shops right outside the door. I loved how close it was to supermarkets, making grocery runs super convenient. The daily housekeeping service kept everything spotless throughout my stay, and the kitchen had all the essentials I needed for simple meals. Clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped—it felt like home. If you're looking for comfort, convenience, and a great location in Rio, this place is a top choice.
Staying at Ibis Rio Porto Atlantico was a fantastic choice, especially given its close proximity to GIG Rio de Janeiro International Airport. Located in a well-planned new district, the area boasts wide, clean streets and a notably safer atmosphere compared to other parts of the city. Public transport is convenient—taking trams 1 and 4 to connect with the metro makes it easy to reach major tourist attractions without hassle. What really stood out was that room rates didn’t increase during Carnival season, which is incredibly fair and refreshing. The only minor downside is the lack of nearby restaurants—there’s just one large supermarket within walking distance, so dining options require a short trip. Still, the excellent location, reliable transport links, and great value make this hotel a top recommendation for travelers who prioritize convenience and peace of mind.
We stayed at Gallant Hotel with a group of five, and it was an excellent choice for our trip to Rio. While not located in the South Zone, the hotel's location is surprisingly convenient—just a short walk from the metro station and close to major tourist attractions. The area is quiet and peaceful, making it a great base for exploring the city. The staff were attentive, friendly, and always ready to help. Breakfast was diverse, delicious, and generously served—perfect way to start the day. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed by the comfort, service, and value. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Rio, and I’m already planning to stay here again on our next visit.
Marcos and his wife were absolutely wonderful hosts—warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay in Rio was comfortable and memorable.

Their knowledge of the city made our trip so much easier and more enjoyable. We felt truly cared for throughout our visit, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly. If we ever return to Rio, we’d choose them without hesitation.
