I had a great time staying at Sonia' cozy rooms in Copacabana, it was well located to access the beach and ideal for taking the metro. We felt at home in the penthouse as its roomy and comfortable. Sonia was a superb host and is very knowledgeable on the Carioca life and the best places to go and visit. There is also a great bakery just round the corner which I highly recommend as the pastries and cakes are lovely. I would definitely stay with Sonia again.
