Renat's place is incredible and the perfect place to stay for a solo traveler or couple. Her place is a studio apartment on the top floor with a great view of Copacabana Beach. The metro is at the end of the street (though uber is cheap), there's a grocery store around the corner and the nearby restaurants are fantastic .
Renata helped us with our weekend in Rio and was an excellent advice giver. She definitely helped us have the best possible trip. Would stay again. A+++
