Capy's home was an oasis in the middle of busy Rio de Janeiro! We ended up extending our stay because we felt so at home on the quiet island.
GREAT THINGS:
1. Accessing the island via boats was very simple using the detailed instructions Tauli and family provided. (They even picked us up on our first time at a late hour, to ensure we made it safely!) Boats are fast and you can be on the main land in usually under 10 minutes
2. Neighborhood in Barra de Tijuca is the safest in Rio and felt much cozier and liable than Copa/Lapa. 10/10 recommend this area for tourists looking for something a little calmer.
3. The house itself is pristine with the pool and kitchen spotless and always available. Capy even let us use their laundry facilities! The WiFi was flawless - perfect for digital nomads - you can host Zoom/Teams calls with no issues!
4. BEAUTIFUL - the boat rides feel like a tour you would pay for and sunsets from the pool set over a downtown backdrop.
