My husband, daughter and I stayed with Teresa for 3 days in June 2014, during the FIFA World Cup. We had an amazing time! Her apartment was perfect, very spacious with our own room and bathroom. It was big enough to comfortably share without feeling like you were getting in the way. We were served a fabulous breakfast each morning, fresh and delicious. The location of the apartment truly is in the heart of Copacabana Beach, 180 degree views and a quick walk across the street to go to the beach. There are many bars and restaurants within walking distance of the apartment. Teresa's English was very good, very easy hold a conversation. She was a wonderful host and really made us feel like we were guests in her home. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back and visit Rio and Teresa again some time!
