Staying with Sonia in Copacabana was an absolute pleasure both because of the incredible location - so many great restaurants, bars and caipirinhas(!) just minutes away, and of course the beach - as well as Sonia’s superb hosting skills. She went out of her way to ensure that we had everything that we needed and had a wealth of advice about Rio, which we welcomed as there is so much to do and see. Would very much like to return both to Rio and to Sonia’s gorgeous apartment.
