One thing we would improve is the cleanliness, especially in the bathroom and the bed sheets. We also would have loved the shower to be warmer as we were travelling in August, which is the chill season. Finally, we had to unplug the fridge as the noise was a bit loud at night. But all in all, it was a good stay!

We really liked Sergio, who gave us a lot of information and recommendations about Rio. He was always ready to help and accommodate our needs. We also liked the fact that the house was in a private street which made us feel safer, and it was close to metro station, restaurants, shops and the beach.

Shower tubing would fall off as I showered but was easy fix to insert again.

Easy to walk to from my points of interest and owner was very helpful with information n pleasant.

Although it’s in a quiet street there is a fair amount of noise, especially when other guests operate the electronic keypad at late or very early hours. The bed was extremely hard too.

Very well located within a 10 minute walk to Copacabana beach. Close to shops and restaurants. Sergio the owner is lovely and goes out of his way to offer help and advice.

Sergio is just unique, very helpful and knowledgable about Rio. The house is very conveniently placed, really close to the beach and easy access to busses, metro and taxis. Generally Rio is very easy to get around, even with the weird layout.

Sergio is the best !

Read the description of the kitchen facilities carefully- there is a microwave and coffee machine but no cooker/stove and no kettle, so we were unable to prepare our own meals other than sandwiches/salad. It would be ideal to have a cooker, then this place would be a 10/10!

Sérgio is a really lovely and thoughtful host, keen to provide information about his city and recommendations for what to do! Our room was comfortable and the location was very safe. We had good communication with Sergio before we arrived so that we knew what to expect. I would definitely stay again and recommend to other travellers!

Good value for money. Very good location, close to Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. Very safe area. But most importantly, host Sergio is very welcoming. He gave me many tips to help me during my stay. Highly recommended.

Rooms slightly outdated and shower was lukewarm

The location is really good, up a safe street but walking distance everywhere. Sergio is the best host! He meets you with an induction about Rio and tells you all about it and the best things to do. Can’t speak highly enough of him thank you Sergio! Gave us tips on stuff to do on each day which was great! Walking distance to the beach. His coffee is great!

Nothing

Amazing host, couldn't be more helpful. We got a welcome chat with info on what sights to see with all the insider tips of how best to enjoy those experiences. Perfect room, close to restaurants, shop and bars as well as the beach. The house is perfect and we were allowed to use the washing machine- great place

I had an absolutely lovely stay here! The host (Sergio) is incredible, it’s in one of the best and safest neighbourhoods of Rio, and the atmosphere sort of feels like a hostel (which I mean in the best way possible) while still having a room with all the amenities to yourself

Stayed in March 2024

Nothing, everything was as described.

The property is in a great location and is gated which makes it safer. It’s a short walk from Copacabana beach and the restaurants/ bars. The host Sergio met us on arrival allowing us an early check in and gave us lots of very useful knowledge which we used to plan our time in Rio. We had a double room with an en-suite bathroom and a balcony although we did not really use the balcony.

Would be much appreciated if there is a kettle

We spent 3 nights in this nice house. Neat, clean and close to the beach in a very safe part of Rio. Excellent host Sergio hosted us as if we were his family. He helped us with his advice and was very responsive to all our questions. Thank you Sergio and see you again!

Excellent location on a quiet, safe dead end street within a short walk to Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. The room was quite large, and while my room didn't have air-conditioning, it was light and airy and there was a fan. Sergio, the owner, was fantastic. He's a great guy, speaks English very well (and several other languages), and was a a lot of help and a good source of information and advice.

The absolute best place ever to stay in Rio. Sergio is the most exceptional host. It’s in a fab location, on a quietly safe street, right in the heart of Copacabana. BOOK THIS PLACE if you want somewhere perfect to stay in Rio.

Stayed in February 2023

Sergio is an amazing host and goes above and beyond to make his guests comfortable and welcome, not only in the apartment but also in Rio. The accomodation is located in a safe and quiet street just a few minutes walk from restaurants, shops, laundromats and, of course, Copacabana. Great place for a short or longer stay in Rio.
