I had such a marvelous time staying with Isadora that i extended my stay there by 3 days. I found the location to be just ideal - super close to the beach and Ipanema/Leblon but also accessible to other parts of the city. Safe area / great restaurants ... and a lovely balcony overlooking the street from the 3rd floor.
Isadora is simply wonderful - such a kind and lovely hostess. She speaks fluent spanish so we could communicate very well (and share stories of living in Spain!). The flat is charming - lovely art - and the sweetest cat (Clara). I re-strung the guitar and was able to play out the window for people on the street. A divine stay in Copacabana. Hope to return.
