I can’t speak highly enough of Claudia and her home. I spent 10 days here and I would gladly do it again. The location is incredible, close to beach, restaurants, and 25ish min walk to Ipanema. Stay here if you want the privacy a private room offers, with the option of interacting with others who stay in the other rooms. Also- Claudia is an incredibly kind and lovely woman who loves her home and those who stay in its walls. She gave me a tour of the area when I arrived which was extremely helpful, and she just gives great recommendations of things to do/eat- listen to them!
Do not hesitate to stay here, the best deal I found in Copacabana without a doubt. Just keep in mind this room is small and it gets quite hot… but there is a fan and you have your own private bathroom to take all the showers you wish. Thank you again Claudia!
