Sergio Alves is brilliant host and his roof top space is a lovely place to stay whilst in Rio. Sergio is exactly what airbnb hosting is all about unlike many other places I have stayed recently. His welcome to his home is warm, friendly and sincere and he does everything in his power and knowledge to ensure your stay with him is as good as it can be. We got a personal guided tour of the his locality to point out the restaurants, shops, bars and the beach etc that he uses himself, which is invaluable and his lesson in how to prepare the best Caprainas is fantastic !!
Now onto the accommodation :
Sergio's apartment is the penthouse (24 hr very friendly doorman controlling entrance and exit) with the second floor exclusively for the guests which is clean, comfortable with a lovely refreshing pool too. A fully stocked fridge of beer, water and other soft drinks (prices are as the shops so don't be afraid to help yourself) is there too. There's a washing machine which is very handy if you've been travelling.
If you're going to Rio and particularly Copacabana, then this must be your choice, really.
