I traveled to Brazil for a family wedding. Before the wedding I stayed in the Windsor Leme hotel in Rio but decided to stay an extra week, so looked for more cost effective accommodation. Frederico's apartment was excellent, as good if not better in many ways to the Windsor Leme hotel but a third of the price! Clean, quiet and a great location just off the center of Copacabana beach. Big LCD TV in the room with BBC and CNN on sky. He let me leave my bag in the lounge on the last day as my flight was late in the evening. Thoroughly recommend.
