Bernardo's apartment was fantastic for me. It has a gorgeous view of the Sugar loaf (pao de azucar) with a beautiful sunrise. If you like brightness and light, this is a perfect option for you. It has everything you could need in a house. It didn't have a hair drier at first, but Bernardo sorted out straight away. The only thing that wasn't great is the noise as it is right in front of the main highway, but at the same time, it is a great location to see Botafogo's beach and sugar loaf. It is less than 5min walk from the Metro and has shops very close to it. I found it safe as well as they have security 24h. I had a very nice stay, I would definitely come back.
