We had a very pleasant 10 days stay at the apartment.
We arrived very late at 12am and Lydie welcomed us very friendly and explained everything. We used Lydies driver Junior to get from the airport to the apartment. I can only recommend to use him. He is very nice, speaks perfekt English and was very helpful with everything.

Everything in the apartment was as described - nice and clean new furnishing, kitchen with everything you need, a nice bathroom and a cosy bedroom with air-condition.
The apartment is perfect for two people (not so sure about a third one-that could get a little cramped).
It is in a very safe residential neighborhood between Ipanema and Copacabana, with a 24/7 supermarket around the corner and many cafes and restaurants in the vicinity.
The street is very quiet and the beach is only a few minutes walk away (the apartment is not exactly 50m from the beach but more like 200-300m but still very close to Posto 8).
Communication was always quick and perfect with them.
Lydie was very flexible with our check out time. We had a late flight at 12am and we were able to stay in the apartment until 9pm without any extra charge. Thank you so much for that again!
We will definitely stay there again when we visit Rio the next time!
