Despite the bustling traffic outside, even at night, we had a wonderful stay for three nights at Ana's place. Close to the beach (just one block away), a small market for basic needs, and lots of bakeries and cafes, this place is very convenient within walking and biking distances. Being on the south side of Copacabana, it is a much quieter and less busy area compared to the north side, which often has traffic jams. I also was able to walk to Ipanema and Leblon, which is about 20-30 minutes.
Ana and her husband (I forgot his name) greeted us at the door by the building's entrance. They gave us a tour of the place and everything was explained in detail about what's available and tips about the surrounding areas.
The bedroom is spacious, clean, and comfortable, with hot showers, soap, and towels, but we were rarely there since we were outside most of the day.
Muito obrigado! We might be back here again on our next visit to RdJ. ^_^
