Bruno made our first trip to Brazil top tier. The space looks exactly as the photos present. The favela felt extremely safe and the locals were so kind and welcoming — it felt like home away from home. What made the stay most special was Bruno's great communication and incredible team that was accommodating to our every wish. It was truly a full service experience.

We went as a couple and the apartment delivers 110% — it's beautiful and everything is super new, super clean, and communication with Bruno was excellent; he always attended to us promptly in the best way possible. The building is super close to the entrance of the community, we never needed a moto-taxi, we walked up and down every time. The community has everything — markets, pharmacies, restaurants — and the residents are super welcoming and respectful. We drove up in our own car; you can drive up with peace of mind. It was a bit tricky to find parking, but once I did, I left it there for 4 days with no issues. In summary: the apartment is beautiful, the view incredible, and Bruno is excellent. We can only say thank you — we'll be back without a doubt!

Perfect! Bruno was an incredibly kind person from the start — he shared all the info clearly and even gave us several useful tips including moto-taxi contacts, places to order food and more. The apartment is exactly like the photos: very beautiful, fully renovated, with gorgeous decor and a super cozy feel. The view is surreal, absolutely breathtaking. The bathtub next to the bed is a separate charm and made all the difference. The location surprises too: access is easy, about 250 meters from the entrance of the hill, and parking is easy (I parked safely without trouble). It's also very close to the beach and Leblon, which makes everything even more special. Highly recommend — I'll definitely be back soon. Two thumbs up!

Anyone who really wants to get to know Brazil should book this apartment in Vidigal. It is very safe and the people there are very kind. Bruno replied faster than I could read and was able to help me with everything. 10/10

A 10/10 experience and one of my favourite Airbnb stays of all! The apartment was beautiful, had everything you could need for a short to mid stay and the views are unmatched. Even in overcast weather the atmosphere was so unique. Vidigal felt very safe — during the day it was a short 15–20 minute walk down to Leblon and at night Bruno had recommended friendly and reliable drivers / moto-taxi contacts. Bruno was the best host ever! So friendly and responsive, had daily recommendations and local suggestions for what to do, and would answer all the many questions I had haha. He even came over to drop off a flashlight when I needed one. I would happily come back for longer and recommend this listing highly ★★★★★ Obrigada!
