George was a friendly and helpful host. The location of the flat was superb with some jaw-dropping views of the beach and Christ the Redeemer. A cheap and easy moto-taxi brings you straight up to the flat or into Copacabana within minutes. The apartment is more suited to young backpacker/travellers. The location is within a model favela located in Babilonia, Leme - do your research about the local situation before starting your trip!
