What a gorgeous, amazing property this is! Absolutely stunning views of the beach, perfect location, lovely, sparkling clean, and comfortable. We LOVED IT. This is our 3rd time in Rio. And we will definitely be back to this property. John is an extraordinary host. He responds almost instantly to any questions or requests for assistance. One could not ask for more gracious hospitality than what he and his wonderful assistant Charlotte offer. There were 5 of us in the apartment for a week . All 3 bedrooms were wonderful with comfortable beds and bedding. We all slept GREAT. Bathrooms are lovely.
The apartment is not just beautiful and well-appointed but well organized. Lots of special touches. Fresh fruit in bowl awaited us when we arrived. (Charlotte met us at the apartment when we first arrived and she is doll! She made sure we had everything we needed from the get-go.)
John sets out his amazing Guide to Rio and maps and other helpful materials on sight-seeing. He labels the kitchen drawers or cabinets in Portuguese and English for easy use. When I shared with him that my daughter was going to be became engaged during our stay, he sent a message recommending some romantic spots for her boyfriend to pop the question! He even suggested the name of a bakery that delivered delicious cakes to the apt to help with the celebration. Bottom line- John goes out of his way to make sure your time is special and accommodates his guests in any way he can. Anytime I had a question John responded almost instantly. John more than deserves his Super Host status.
And again, the apartment is fabulous. Restaurants, grocery stores and shops all within close walking distance. Safe and secure.
Open all the windows and listen to the waves -take in the stunning view of the ocean and watch the all the strollers go by on the beautiful famous black and white stoned Copacabana walkway. For a special treat lay in the hammock he has set up right in front of the windows --ahhhhh--just glorious!
