Wow, so where do I start? Jorge is a great host. Lively and always there to help, good at making people feel at home. His mother who sometimes stays there is also an angel, she even offered to wash our clothes which we were in dire need of after spending many weeks in the jungle, a life-saver!

The room we stayed in was the small one, it's quite small indeed but it's very clean and the attached private bathroom is also very nice and modern, top rate! The building is top notch and has a porter making it feel quite secure. Not that that really seemed necessary as Leme is one of the safest barrios in Rio and these days Rio is really not that dangerous anymore wherever you go. The location of the place is optimal, just 25 short meters from the beach (the same beach as copacabana, in fact). Everything else can be easily reached by foot or bus. Highly recommended, we definitely enjoyed our stay.
