Stayed at Sergio's place over New Year's and it was the perfect location!! 5 minute walk to Copacobana beach which made it so easy to go see the fireworks at midnight.
And what made it even better was Sergio himself. He was a great host and took the time when we arrived to give us a detailed overview of Rio, the sites to see and his personal recommendations (much appreciated). He was also available via Whatsapp for our entire stay if we had any questions.
Thanks for a great stay :)
