This cozy 1 BR is the ideal home base for exploring Rio. Our host had a local contact to facilitate the easy exchange of keys, the location was minutes from Copacabana beach, the metro station, and taxis are available at any time. I will note that the fold-out sofabed is extremely firm, and may not be to the taste of all who lie there.
The door staff was friendly, and we always felt secure. Getting a delicious juice and coffee right outside our door every morning became a wonderful routine.
