We had a fantastic stay in Remy's apartment. To start, communication with Remy was very smooth and easy. We were able to drop our bags early with the doorman and were even able to get an early check in. The neighborhood is beautiful, there are plenty of great spots to eat and shop nearby, of course the beach is just a short walk away, and importantly it was safe. The lobby staff are super helpful and friendly and made us feel very safe and secure. They let us in day and night, so there was no need for a key to the building. The apartment itself was immaculate. It was incredibly clean and had everything we needed for a great stay (plenty of towels, cooking essentials, TVs, A/C in multiple rooms, wifi, and soaps). Everything worked as expected. The door to the to the apartment is numeric code entry, so no need to worry about a key there either. I was a little worried about having to get a COVID test (required for travel), but Remy sent me a list of labs that do expedited testing and some that even offer to come to the apartment to administer the tests. For those who might be concerned, I paid for a 12hr test results and got it back in about 6 hrs. It was affordable and very easy to schedule. As our stay was coming to a close, Remy knew my flights were later in the evening and gave us a late check out as well.
Overall, the apartment was amazing and Remy went above and beyond to make sure we had a good trip. I will definitely be recommending Remy's place to any friends/family who might be traveling to Rio and plan on staying there again when I go back.
