We were met by the hosts both when arriving and prior to leaving the apartment--they were very friendly and gave tips about the area as well as introducing us to the apartment.

Apartment was perfect for two who aren't a couple--two bedrooms and two bathrooms and very comfortable. Great location just a few blocks from Copacabana, but on a quite tree-lined street. Easy access to buses and taxis to take us all around Rio.

I would absolutely recommend staying here!
