I have stayed once before in Nadia’s apartment, and I had a feeling at the time that I would return. So when I rated this time that it was “what I expected,” this was the super plus rating—not the middle one— it meant that I felt it was like coming back home. No surprises...all relaxation. And Nadia herself is terrific. Her studio apartment (“conjugado” “kitchenete”) is really perfect for mature couples or singles seeking a stylish, affordable, homey place in the “sweet spot” of Copacabana and Ipanema.
