My friend and I stayed in a room at Bernardo's apartment for three nights during the World Cup. Bernardo was a great host! He greeted us during check-in and made us feel very welcome in his home. He offered recommendations on live music spots in Lapa when asked, and he was knowledgeable about the buses and metro. The entire apartment was very clean and tidy. The location was excellent, just a block from the beach, and super close to many restaurants, convenience stores, shops and banks. I highly recommend Bernardo's apartment and his hospitality. I would definitely stay there again if I'm lucky enough to find myself in Copacabana again!
