We spent a week in Rio with Haydee during the Rio Olympic games. Even when our flight was delayed Haydee was so accommodating and replied within minutes to our urgent airport messages. The location of the apartment is amazing you really couldn't ask for better. 10 mins walk and you are on Copacabana beach! and 5 mins the other way from the apartment is the underground station. We always felt safe in the area even getting back in the evening after Olympic events. We couldn't have asked to rent a room from a nicer, more welcoming and hospitable host. She had arranging helpful Olympic transport guides and booklets (in English), helped us how to get to venues and always welcomed us back with a big smile. There was a lovely selection of food in our room fridge for us when we arrived and even a chocolate cake on the side we were encouraged to dig into. Her five cars were lovely and very well behaved. Our final morning with Haydee was emotional as we had had such a wonderful time and really didn't want to leave this safe, welcoming Rio home. We fully recommend staying here and just wish we could again soon! Many thanks Haydee.
