Sonia is a great host. She is very caring, fun, friendly, and has helpful tips for whatever we wanted to do. The listing very closely meets reality. The beds are relatively comfy. The balcony off the living room is a great place to relax and gets a lot of sun in the morning. Copacabana is filled with places to eat (although they are quite touristy) but is also in walking distance of Ipanema and Leblon, for less touristy things.
