Haydee was a wonderful host she made us feel very welcome in her home even making us homemade soup on arrival and sharing her gift basket with us for breakfast. The apartment is only 5 minutes walk to copacabana beach and 10 minutes to ipanena which was great. There is a favela behind the apartment but we did not feel unsafe and Haydee gave us tips on where to walk and where no to. Thank you for a lovely stay
