We liked to stay in Livia’s flat. There are many plusses to this place: close to metro & Copacabana, cozy decoration, a lot of space and friendly hospitality of Livia’s neighbour Cristina. She baked us a delicious cake and we even could leave our bags in the flat on the last day, to pick them up for our evening flight. Only thing that bothered us was the quite noisy (outdated?) airco in the bedroom. If you are a light sleeper, you better bring your earplugs.
