We stayed a month at Eudes and Sergio’s place and we could not have been happier. Our hosts went above and beyond to make us feel at home, safe and welcomed. Mr. Gilson, the building attendant is friendly and helpful. Eudes and Sergio live close by, and are there to assist if anything comes up. The location has everything: it is 5 min from Copacabana beach, countless restaurants, Arcoverde metro station, juice bars, grocery stores, bars (check out Bodega Bar at the end of the block for a welcoming atmosphere and live music every weekend), and some nice guys run a beverage store on the sidewalk below. We felt safe in the neighborhood night and day, and had all we needed at our fingertips during our stay. It was easy to explore the rest of the city via metro or Uber (usually less than $10 to get anywhere in the city). The apartment was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed opening up the balcony doors for fresh air during our morning coffee. We can’t wait to come back! :)
