Maria is a superhost for a reason. Her place is sparkling clean, she communicates exceptionally well and has a great location. I travelled several times to Copacabana by über and the price was usually 12-15 reias/brl. There were plenty of places to eatnearby, so I felt like I was getting more of the local experience. I highly recommend Maria and would happily stay here again, if she wasn't booked.
