Lovely accomodation near Copacabana in an authentic Brazilian house. The views are beautiful, rooms are double with private bathroom and fresh/healthy breakfast included each morning. We had complete intimacy. We were on a romantic gateway and found this place good value for money! Easy to reach from GIG airport (we took the shuttle bus 2018 to a station near Leme), local restaurants nearby, sandy beach, bus stops, taxis. The host, Vera (Thiago's mother) was very kind and smiley although she doesen't speak English. There is a touristic info point 15 minutes away and I highly recommend it as they are helpful. All in all, we recommend this place and hope to be back in Rio again :). PS. The place is on top of a safe and friendly favela, a bit of workout won't kill anyone to climb to the house :), but you can take mototaxi for 3 realsi. Thanks for hosting us. If anyone is in doubt, go for this place! You won't find a better value for private rooms and breakfast in Rio (and is a great start point for exploring the city).
