Philip was a great host. Since the day one he communicated well and clearly. The apartment is in great location with lot of restaurants and other facilities around and easy beach access to Copacabana. Apartment is very cozy. We felt secure at the apartment and the security at the elevator checks who comes in and out. The kitchen is very well equipped with all necessary things. His assistant waited for us at checkin to hand over keys and also came at 5.45 am to collect the keys at check out. I would recommend it to a couple or 3 people. Thank you Philip for letting us stay at your beautiful apartment and enjoy Rio.
