I have stayed at Sergio's penthouse 5 times, it is by far the BEST deal in Rio. I won't ever stay anywherelse, but this Penthouse. Great location, great views of the mountains around, including a view of Christ, and best of all is to have Sergio as your host. He is the best superhost one will ever have in Rio: he bends backward to please you, and make you feel very welcome in his penthouse, and around his neighborhood of Copacabana. He even brought me the local newspaper, everyday of my staying. Definitely BEST DEAL in Rio. Can't wait to go back
