We had a wonderful two week stay in Paloma's apartment. Paloma was extremely kind and helpful from the moment we booked the apartment, and the fact that she speaks and writes excellent English came in handy. In Rio we also met her mother, Angela, who is also a lovely person, always ready to help. The apartment is nice and clean, exactly as described, perfect for two or three persons. The location is very good, near to the beach and the subway station, with a bus stop right in front of the building and many shops, supermarkets and restaurants nearby. Also the doormen and the administrator of the building were all very helpful. Two weeks went by so fast, we would definitely like to go back!
