Sergio's place is incredibly well located in Copacabana, a few minutes from the beach, a supermarket as well as bakery, bars and restaurants. The house is in a gated community which is very safe and has everything you need for a short term stay. There is no oven/stove but there is a microwave and sandwich maker and a fridge. Sergio was incredibly kind and helpful, telling me where it was safe to go, how to get there and making himself available for whatever I needed. He also made sure he was present when I arrived and when I left and even helped me with my luggage. I would definitely recommend staying with him!
