Gonzalo is a great host, he helped us with several things. The room is huge, lightly, the bed is really comfortable and everything is clean, tidy, and well organized. We really felt like at home. The location is really great, 5 minutes walking distance from Copacabana Beach, Ipanema and Pao de Azucar are a walkable distance as well. The neighborhood is full of shops, restaurants, panaderías, banks, supermarkets, etc... We defenitely and highly recommend this place for a great experience in Rio de Janeiro. Buena vibra, nice atmosphere!
