Danilos place was amazing! Such a good use of space, very nicely decorated and homey, and lots of room for a couple, enough floor space to workout or do yoga. Really comfy sofa and great shower. Access to Netflix. Great location, 2 minute walk from Copacabana beach! You can see Christ the redeemer from the window, amazing place to wake up! We felt super safe and secure with the doorman letting us in and out. Danilo and Bianca were very responsive on messages.
This was an awesome place to come back to after a busy day, you could really relax and recharge here which we found to be important after having to be alert all day out in Rio. It really didn't cost us much more than a Hostel (£9-12 each vs £15-17 each for two people) but it was a million times better value staying here! Danilo and Bianca were super flexible as we wanted to stay another night, we were considering staying in a hotel for our last night but this was actually the much nicer option and way more affordable.
The only thing I would say is the bedroom was a bit noisy from outside and the Aircon was quite loud, definitely needed earplugs to sleep, and it was quite warm without the aircon. Although, there is enough space to sleep very comfortably on the sofa as an alternative and nap in a hammock. There was a little bit of confusion checking in as the usual doorman had popped out for lunch but this was sorted quickly, and Danilo and Bianca were on hand on messages to help.
We loved this space! We would definitely stay here again if we came back!
