Madalena is the best host you can wish for. She checks up on you if you're OK, ask you to join for dinner and invites you to watch telenovelas. You feel like being part of a family. I also loved the two cats who live in the apartment, they're cute and affectionate.
The location is perfect: close to the Copacabana beach and public transport.
Thanks a lot for your hospitality and generosity!
