True, but wouldn't it be a shitty bldg?
[QUOTE=TuneFor;2510441]Airbnbn or Booking or Hotels or private rented apartment issue can only be doorman or receptionist.
Try to take apartment which is in building without reception and problem solved.
Even if it is written no visitors on apartment policy don't see a way it can be controled.
I also booked apartments for upcoming Brasil trip and don't expect any issues there.[/QUOTE]I almost always stay at vacation rentals in Rio, Airbnb or not, and don't remember the last time there wouldn't be a doorman. Maybe back at the beginning of the 00's.
I also found that being reasonably straightforward works better for me. And sure thing, sometimes there is a firm no, but more often I get a consent. Especially when I assure them that I'm quiet, discreet and respectful (all true). I don't know, but I like to stay in a nice place, and it's a buyer's market in Rio right now.
