Haydee is a fantastic host. I stayed in her place for three nights and it was my first time visiting Rio. The place is located in an excellent location. Close to both Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. It’s an apartment building that is controlled by a doorman who lets people in, making it an absolutely secure place. The room is super-clean and has everything a traveller needs.
Haydee helped me a lot by providing all information I needed. She offered me hotdogs, Feijoada (their traditional food), and cake. She tried to do anything she could so I have a good experience and a positive sense of their culture. One night I was going out for a walk at Copacabana beach and she gave me her umbrella so I won’t get wet in case it rains. Haydee even arranged my transportation (early in the morning) to the international airport with a very good price. I highly recommend people to stay at her place. You’ll get what you need for a very reasonable price.
