Haydee was the loveliest host ever, she felt like a second mom to me. She kept my room super clean (even though I brought so much sand from the beach everyday) washed all my clothes and gave me so many accessories to wear to carnival parties. Haydee was super accommodating with the check-in as I landed super early in the morning. Her place is literally 5min walk to the metro stop and less than 10min to Copacabana beach. The house has lots of kitties which is definitely a bonus. There are lots of shops around and everything you need. The building is super secure and there’s 24h security at the entrance. If you are looking for a home away from home then look no further!
