Haydee was a great host. She followed up with e-mails prior to our arrival and answered all our questions.
The apartment was clean and cozy with easy access to the kitchen. Haydee's location is ideal since the subway is 30 seconds away and Copacabana beach is 2 minutes walk in the opposite direction.
Wi-fi service is great and there are several restaurants close by. Ipanema beach is only 5 minutes drive also.
Two things about Rio...Change your money to their currency upon arrival (US is hardly accepted) and try to learn some basic Portuguese (locals don't speak English).
