João & Betty are very accommodating hosts and answered all our questions. As this is our first time in Rio de Janeiro and that we don't know Portuguese, it helped us a lot especially their notes and directions. They welcomed us warmly in our stay and really made an effort to make us comfortable. Their apartment is few blocks away from Copacabana beach so location is very convenient. The neighborhood feels so safe even during night time. We highly recommend their apartment and we will surely consider their place again next time we visit Rio again.
