The perfect sized apartment for a very comfortable break in Rio. The location was great, only a few minutes from the beach and the local food stores. Seriously this place in in the middle of many decent bars and restaurants. The metro station was closed for improvement works however taxis are very cheap and secure.

The apartment was perfectly clean on arrival, with Lydie warning us about the low pressure in the shower system, which i believe she is something she is sorting out. The kitchen was clean and had all that was needed (cooker, microwave, big fridge/freezer), even oils and salt! The facility to wash clothes was also useful!

Lydie is a very cultured, perfect hostess (and her husband is very nice and polite), keeping in touch with us during our stay and advising us on things we must see and bringing us clean bed linen!

The Wifi was reliable, AC is very good, but only available in the bedrooms but we didn't find this to be an issue.

We thank you both for everything and certainly look forward to seeing you again! Obrigado!
