I will write my review in English, because Daniela made it easy to communicate even though I do not speak Portuguese! My husband and I travelled to Rio and very much enjoyed staying at Daniela’s home. It was clean, had a kitchen with everything we needed to cook our own meals, and was in the perfect location. Daniela was very thoughtful and offered an early check-in at no additional charge. There were plenty of towels and extra blankets, if we needed them- and AC in every room! We met a very nice woman, Renata, who works for Daniela and helped us to check-in and check-out. Daniela also left us a few beers and champagne to enjoy when we arrived and recommended a really yummy juice store (bigbi sucos) nearby that we loved. There is a supermarket right below the apartment, that made shopping for food and snacks so nice and easy. We debated between staying in Copacabana or Ipanema, and are so happy we chose to stay in Copacabana. It is a quick walk to the beach and good restaurants and bars. We felt safe the entire time- day and night, and will definitely be back again to stay. You will enjoy your stay here too!
