My stay at Rod and Anderson's place was amazing!! I was a solo woman traveler and I felt so safe and at home there. I stayed for 2 and half weeks, during Christmas and New Years, and they literally treated me like family. I enjoyed home cooked meal, was invited out with their friends, and also showed me around the area (It's the perfect location because they are walking distance to Copacabana Beach). It was a pleasure staying with them and I'm looking forward to my next trip to Rio with them!
