Our host - Guilherme - is a very nice person. He is fluent with English and show us where to go and how to get the tour in Rio. The room is large for 4 of us. Our host is busy working and not at home during our stay so we have entire house. The location is nice and is only 5 minute walk to the Copacobana beach. Restaurants and groceries are all around and very easy to access. This is a good location and it is very safe.
