Our stay in Rio became the highlight of a month long vacation in Brazil & Peru (arguable but even better than Machu Picchu) all thanks to Monica & her hospitality. New year celebration is world famous in Rio but it became more memorable for us as Monica invited us to her mother’s house facing Copacabana & Leme beaches. The view of firework show from that house was truly mind blowing & unforgettable.
Her Airbnb listed house is prettier than the listing pictures thanks to the pieces of art she has placed around. Monica went out of her way to get us the special metro tickets for 31st night. Her English might not be great but she knows how to communicate and was able to share tips to see Rio. She was very prompt in answering all our queries before & during our stay. Her place is conveniently located - 1km from Santos Dumont Airport; 200m from US consulate, bus stop & VLT line; 300m from metro station
