My girlfriend and I stayed at Duda's apartment in April 2014. The flat is wonderful; spacious, modern and clean. It is very close to Copacabana for a quick, refreshing dip. Duda is an AMAZING host; he made our stay in Rio wonderful. He was very attentive, responsive and accommodating.
He was able to provide us with a list of good local restaurants and helped us co-ordinate our adventures in the city. A top notch individual! Whenever we return to Rio, we will absolutely return to this apartment.

TIP: Take a filet de lomo sandwich from Cerevantes for a picnic on the beach. Load up the piri piri peppers and top with a grilled pineapple slice. You won't regret it.
