Patricia and Paulo's apartment was absolutely perfect for our stay in Rio. It's a great apartment with plenty of room for two people, but most importantly it has a great location a block in from the beach. In addition, Patricia and Paulo were so helpful with recommendations of places to eat, places to go etc. Finally, Paulo waiting for us outside the apartment making it easy to get in (despite us being late due to traffic) and even called us a cab for the morning of our departure. We highly recommend this apartment!
