Helena's studio is bright, clean, very comfortable and is very well appointed. The building is totally secure & the doormen are very friendly and polite.
The location is excellent, if you want some copa time you can walk in 5 minutes, likewise for Ipanema. There is a subway station 2 minutes away. You could be in LAPA in 20 mins, or Urca, Botofogo in 10. It's great!
Helena, is very friendly too. Attentive & relaxed. I heard she does a mean samba, but I have yet to find out. Overall, pretty hard to beat.
Does anyone know the Portuguese translation of Notwithstanding?
