Arno and Igor were very helpful and generous when we came and visited Rio. They were always accessible via text if we ever needed anything and they were great with recommendations for things to do in the area.
The place was a cute little spot nestled back in Copacabana. It's a bit of a walk to get to Ipanema and Leblon if that's what you are looking for, but it's a short 3 to 5 minute walk to the beach in Copacabana, which is beautiful.
The area is safe and we felt incredibly welcomed and at ease while staying here. Aside from the usual traffic noise in Rio, it was quiet and tucked back away from major traffic and roads.
Thanks for a great stay!
