Patrick's place is basically paradise. Extremely comfortable, well decorated, peaceful, safe, clean, full of light, and close to the beach and many of the best spots in Rio de Janeiro. He, his family, and all the people who work to make this place amazing (housekeeper, maid, etc.) are wonderful. We have been to Rio de Janeiro several times, stayed in a number of different houses and apartments, but nothing like this. I could not recommend it more. I will always be grateful to Patrick and everybody there for let us feel home and help us having the best time in Rio ever!
