Sergio's apartment was simply perfect! It is within walking distance from the beach and located in the lively Copacabana area. We came with the car and were able to park in the buildings garage which was really helpful. Sergio made the whole upper floor ready for us, so there was a lot of space and everything you might need - even a pool. It's also amazing that you can see the Christ from your bed! Also, Sergio was really nice and welcoming to us, he is an outstanding host. I can't say enough good things about our stay in Rio, it was really, really good!
