This is one of those places that you don’t want to talk about because you don’t want it booked the next time you want to stay, but Conceição deserves the kudos. Perfect location between Copacabana and Ipanema, large, comfortable, naturally lit space that’s great for remote work, impressively well-equipped kitchen, and an exceptionally thoughtful host. This was the fourth place I’d stayed in this part of Rio, but it’s the first I’ll check in the future.
