We had a great experience staying in Patricia's apartment. She and her husband stayed late to greet us upon our arrival after a delayed flight. She made sure we were comfortable before leaving, left her info with us and the doorman in case we needed anything, and even had a list of which buses to take to all the tourist locations and back (which was very helpful to us as not very many people spoke English!). She had fruit & drinks waiting for us & told us where the grocery stores & good restaurants were. Our trip to Rio was very relaxing & went smoothly in part thanks to Patricia! The apartment is just what you need...a comfortable bed, linens & towels, clean bathroom, stocked kitchen...we couldn't have asked for more. Definitely a great place for the money too. We will for sure try to stay there on our next visit to Rio! Thanks Patricia for a great stay!
