Pedro is definitely resourceful and ready to help, have no doubt about it! The house is amazing and as beautiful as the pictures, a very cosy architect-designed house. There were 12 people of us and we all found the house confortable and clean. The house is well located : 20-minute drive from Copacabana palace (in the middle of Copacabana beach), 5-minute drive from Leblon beach (which is great too with the family and a bit of surfing). No reason to worry about the safety: The house is located in a residential area at the foot of the Rocinha but we never really noticed it actually. Every day we walked from the house to Gavea center without feeling insecure. Thank you Pedro, we spent a wonderful week at your place. Take care.
