Ines was a fantastic host. She was very welcoming and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. She gave us some great tips about rio and even a small familiarisation tour around the immediate area. The room was exactly as pictured and very comfortable for our week long stay. Everything was clean and there was a lovely cleaning lady that we saw twice in our visit. The area is great and very safe. Close to the metro, buses, the main street of Copacabana and beaches. There are supermarkets everywhere and a great bakery downstairs (try the custard filled donuts). My only negative was that sometimes it felt a bit crowded if the 4 rooms were filled. Overall, we highly recommend Ines' place and Rio in general.
