I'm a solo traveller so I need something comfortable, value for money and in a safe location. Seppo's place is all of these. He offers very kind local tips and some hospitable touches. The room is wonderfully decorated and clean. Security is paramount and I feel safe at all times in the building and surrounding area. The apartment is so well located to Copacabana beach (less than 2 minutes walk) Ipanema within walking distance. Lots of good places to eat/drink nearby. Theres a Starbucks across the road if you need GRINGO home comforts. There are 2 very well behaved dogs who keep to themselves and their designated spaces. Thanks Seppo, Highly recommended.
