Haydee was an excellent host. She recommended awesome restaurants and bars for us to try. The apartment is in a perfect location in Rio - near the metro and easy-to-navigate bus system. Also super close to Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. Our stay in Rio would not have been the same without Haydee and her five (!) cats. She even gave us some traditional Brazilian desserts to try. I very highly recommend this apartment.
