We stayed in Matteo's apartment in Copacabana for almost 3 weeks over New Year's and it was fantastic!

The apartment was clean and looked exactly like the photos. The location was perfect - minutes from the beach, great cafes, bakeries and public transport links. The apartment was very secure and all the doormen were so friendly and helpful throughout our whole stay.

Matteo was a great host; great communication before, during and after our stay - everything we needed was there and nothing was too much trouble for him.

I would highly recommend the apartment and Matteo as a host - this is this first place I will be looking at on my next trip to Rio!
