What an amazing Rio experience! Great location and safety. Joao and Vania are great hosts and hospitality is at the best level.
The building is old, but location is exceptional. I loved air conditional in every room, much needed for the climate. Very cute personal touches from Vania to make it feel like home.
I would say safety and location are the key for the value. I've stayed in Copacabana and Ipanama hotels for the same or higher price... This apartment is cleaner and better ventilated
