Leticia and Martin were amazingly friendly, thoughtful and accommodating. They assisted us with getting around and we're always available if we needed help with anything. Their English was perfect too which was a great help to us who knew very limited Portuguese. Great apartment, amazing view and there is a beautiful local beach nearby within walking distance. Great location as you can go back to the airport or Ipanema, Copa etc or south to Barra de Tijuca. Only downside is Rio has a lot of traffic in the peak times which means that it can take some time to get anywhere however this is same as any big city. Thanks so much for having us!!
