We booked Denise's apartment for 2 1/2 weeks during the Olympics. We were warmly welcomed by Denise and her husband and as we arrived late she had already arranged for breakfast next morning. What a welcome! We had a few minor questions next morning to which she responded immediately. The apartment is at a superb location exactly as described on her listing page. It is perfectly suited for a family of 4, cozy, clean, stable and high speed WIFI (extremely important for our teenage daughters). The kitchen is a bit small (for our standards) but there are so many good, interesting and affordable restaurants around that you will probably not bother to cook yourself. We very much enjoyed our time during the Olympics. On the day we were scheduled to fly back home, one of our daughters had to be admitted to hospital with appendicitis. Being in a foreign country and not speaking the language we contacted Denise who was within 10 minutes at the apartment. She and her husband drove us to a very good hospital and they even arranged for the Doctor to treat our daughter. They spent a large part of Saturday afternoon and the whole Saturday evening as well as Sunday morning with us in the hospital. Although the surgery went well, the recovery was a bit more painful and took a bit longer than hoped for. When we had some communication issues with the hospital staff on Monday evening, she came again immediately and sorted things out very efficient and effective! When it became clear that we could not leave on our scheduled departure time, she made immediate arrangements and let us stay in her apartment for as long as needed. WHAT A HOST !!! Her and her husband's support was well above what we could reasonably expect. Support which came directly from their hearts. On a scale of 0 - 10 we would rate the apartment a 9.5 and the host a 11 !!! It goes without saying that we strongly recommend this apartment to anyone who is looking for accommodation in Rio.
