We had a lovely and very comfortable 3 week stay with Haydee. She's a warm and no-nonsense host who makes her guests feel like family.

The apartment has two rooms for rent, and we took up room with the shared bathroom. The bathroom and house are always clean and there is excellent wi-fi (always important for international travellers!) The house rules are clearly stated, and Haydee provides shower and fridge shelves for all her guests.

The location is excellent - 2 minute walk to a metro station, close to 15 minute walk to Ipanema and only a 5 minute walk to Copacabana beach. We felt safe walking around even at night. The building has a 24 hour doorman and is very secure. Highly recommended and we look forward to staying with Haydee again!
