Fernanda's place in Copacabana is in a super convenient location. There are two grocery stores on the block, the beach is super close, as are the subway and bus stops. The place is cosily small, but if you are spending too much time inside in Rio, you are doing something wrong. Fernanda is a lovely gracious host. She solved some minor electricity problems promptly and gave me a discount for the inconvenience. I would definitely stay here again next time I am in Rio.
