WOW. That's the best way to describe this rental. As soon as you walk in and see the view of Christ the Redeemer looking down over Rio you know you stayed at the right place. Patricia and Mik we very easy to work with and provided us with a nice booklet containing things to do/see and good restaurants to eat at. They also stocked the fridge with food to make breakfast in the morning as well as leaving a couple of local beers to try. The apartment has a very romantic feel, perfect for our honeymoon. We used uber to get around everywhere which was much easier than trying to explain directions to a cab driver (we don't speak Portuguese), and the prices were very cheap compared to U.S. standards (less than $10 USD to get practically anywhere). They also let us check-in early and check-out late due to our weird flight times. This was easily the best vacation rental that we have stayed in to-date.
