This place and neighborhood is THE BEST! I fell in love with the neighborhood. Seriously, it’s the best local vibe you can get. I stayed in Copacabana for a couple nights and hated it because I loved Gávea so much more. Patrick’s place has everything you need. Plus he’s very accommodating to your needs. I had requested a fan for my room and without hesitation I got one. Super nice. I also needed to check-in at a very early/very late time, and he allowed me to do that, so great!! I could easily stayed forever. You’d be silly not to book this spot as it made my trip wonderful. I love Rio, loved Gávea, loved Patrick’s place. :)))
