This is a beautiful old colonial building renovated with great taste and respect for the spirit of the house. Every room is a little bit different, but all have modern bathrooms and are exactly as in the pictures. The rooms on the lower floor have AC, whereas the rooms on the upper floor have fans. Both floors have a small kitchen area. There is a washing machine and you can borrow one of the many tour guides. The street where the house is located is very quiet as it is a gated community and closed from traffic. This is a rare find at such a central location at the heart of Copacabana, only 10 minutes walk from the beach, many restaurants and bars. You can also find supermarkets, the pharmacy and the closest metro station just around the corner. Despite the great amenities, the best of all in this place is not the building, but the host. Sergio is an overly friendly host who is eager to guide you through the city and invite you to a caipirinha at his place. He obviously loves being a host and is looking forward to welcoming you to his city!
