So you are going to Rio and have been going through this site for a nice place to stay. Look no further! Apart from a clean, cosy, and well-located apartment almost on the border of Copacabana and Ipanema, close to to beach, restaurants and public transport, you also get a wonderful hostess in Sonia, who makes you feel that you are in a home away from home. Should I ever go to Rio again, I know where I will stay. Thanks So much Sonia for a wonderful stay!
