Adriana is a warm and welcoming host. She welcomed me into her home and made me feel comfortable immediately. Her introduction to the home was clear and comprehensive. This room is large and nicely furnished for visitors, having ample wardrobe space and desk and small refrigerator. The room has large windows opening on to the street (6th floor), when closed, there is almost no street noise (I liked the street noise). It is well air-conditioned for hotter days. Adriana's home is very spacious and beautifully furnished, making the stay both comfortable and luxurious. You will not feel claustrophobic. The apartment is situated between Copacabana and Ipanema (which is perfect for access to both). The neighbourhood and the apartment are in a very safe area. Police are stationed across the street most nights. The doormen are friendly and vigilant, giving a great sense of security. Adriana's apartment provides a safe and luxurious oasis for the excitement and glamour of Rio.
