We stayed at Duda's place for 5 nights during the 2014 World Cup. We were a little bit apprehensive to start with as it was a very busy period for Rio and accommodation was difficult to find. All our worries vanished as soon as Duda opened the door of his apartment to us. The apartment is right in the middle of the action in Copacabana. It is completely brand new and the photos don't do it justice. It is spotlessly clean and has all the amenities a traveler would want including wifi. It is a small apartment where two people fit perfectly. There were 3 of us and the sofa proved a wonderful extra bed. It could easily fit 2 couples comfortably. The building is very old and the street a little busy, but being high up and recently renovated those are not issues. At night it's surprisingly quiet so sleeping in was also not an issue. Duda was available at all times and was extremely responsive and welcoming. We cannot recommend his apartment enough. If you are ever going to Rio and decide to stay in Copacabana look no further than Duda's apartment. It's a no brainer. Thank you so much Duda. Obrigado!!!
