Sergio's place was great for our recent stay in Rio. The location is excellent, a quick walk to the Copacabana beach. The street is accessed through a secure gate, we felt completely safe the whole time. We had the upper blue room which was very spacious and comfortable. The small kitchen area has a fridge, coffee machine and a small oven so we were able to eat in a couple of nights, alternatively we found some excellent bars and restaurants near by as well! Sergio himself was very friendly and welcoming, giving us tips and suggestions for our stay and happy to answer any questions at all. He also allowed us to store our bags on the day of check out as our flight wasn't till the evening. Would 100% recommend Sergio's place to anyone visiting Rio!
