Maidy was a marvelous host. She went out of her way to help us with the reservation and accommodated a change in our reservation. The room is on the top floor of a building right on Copacabana beach, which made the location wonderful. She was so welcoming and kind, and she made the best breakfast I've ever had in Brazil including fresh fruit, homemade juice, coffee, cheeses and fresh breads, and she even made a fresh-baked cake for us that was so good I asked for the recipe. She was straight forward about her pets and the living space. The bed is huge and the bathroom is very nice. The space is private and has Wi-Fi. I am eager to return to Rio to stay with Maidy again! Anyone who stays here is sure to have a wonderful experience in Rio.
