Rodrigo’s place is the perfect location to be in Rio, his hospitality is second to none, communication was easy, he was always making sure everything was ok, he even went out of his way to pay for NFL football channels I wanted and he did not have on his cable programming so I could watch the playoff games that weekend. His place is so nicely decorated and relaxing......air conditioning and the bed was perfect, no noise from the streets since his on the 10th floor and you can sleep great until late in the morning if you wanted with the dark shades he has. Area is very well lit and secured, police department is right next to his building literally.
Everything was close by, juice and breakfast place, bars, nice restaurants and the Copacabana beach super within walking distance. His apartment Is the perfect location for 2-3 people comfortably.
No need of Uber if you want to have a good time in Copacabana, unless you want to go to the tourists places like Cristo Redentor and Pau de azucar, which is also easy to get from Rodrigo’s place. I strongly and with no doubts will recommend and stay at Rodrigo’s next time I come back to Copacabana.
