This is such a lovely cozy home in Rio! Nadir is a perfect host, she takes so good care and her apartment is filled with love in many beautiful details. I felt welcome and safe at any time. She even put me a letter with sightseeing recommendations together. The area is safe and has plenty to offer, some restaurants/ bars and cafes are right at the street, in walking distance are two big malls as well as the beaches (Botafogo and also Copacabana). It takes 20 min to walk to the cable cars to the sugar loaf mountain. I would definitely recommend staying here, I really enjoyed my time and felt like coming home :-)
