This apartment was fantastic, and Patricia was too! I had many question about Ipanema/Leblon before even arriving, all of which Patricia promptly and patiently answered. It was very easy coordination to meet her at the apartment upon arrival and on the way out as well to give her the keys. And the apartment itself is truly awesome--beautifully decorated, great light, quiet, two tv's, nice kitchen to cook, great amount of closet space, incredible shower, very comfortable bed....and all of it super clean. Even better was the location of the apartment which was incredible close to the beach and many stores and restaurants, as well as Shopping Leblon. The wifi was also great in the apartment which made it easy to call taxis when we wanted to. My flight got cancelled leaving Rio and Patricia waited patiently as I made alternate plans last minute and even helped me research good, alternate hotels in the area for the night because I wasn't able to stay in the apartment. It was a pleasure and I will definitely be back!
