We stayed 3 nights as a german-colombian couple at Sergios Penthouse.

Sergio (and his lovely mother) were the best hosts that we could have wished for.
Immediately after our arrival, we received a lot of helpful tips and insights about Rio de Janeiro
He is a very open and helpful person, who cares deeply about the well being of his guests (in the apartment and in the guesthouse).
His language skills speaking German, Spanish and English (among other languages) were also a big help to us.

The accommodation was great, a lot of privacy with an own living room, spectacular view at the Christ the redeemer statue, pool next to the room.
The coffee machine, the fridge and the ability to wash our clothes were also a big help.
The location in Copacabana is very safe, in walking distance to the beach and the metro.

We can highly recommend and hope to be able to return again.
