Haydee is an exceptional host and her apartment is likewise. If you are visiting rio de janerio I highly recommend you stay here. Haydees apartment is in an absolute perfect location, literally a stones throw away from copacabana beach and a 5 minute walk from ipanema. The apartment is spacious and our room was perfect! The bed is very comfortable, room is a good size, and the apartment is very well set out and clean and tidy. Haydee is very respectful of privacy and very warm and hospitable. We shared time together chatting, eating and we were even lucky enough to try some of haydees fantastic Brazilian cooking. Haydee also provided very good tips on places to go in Rio and there is a large amount of information in the room on things to do. I can genuinely say our time in Rio was the best thanks to Haydee and the apartment. Wished we could have stayed longer!
