My husband and I stayed here for 5 nights in July and could not be happier with our experience. Although Patricia was out of town, her husband Paulo was there to greet us in the lobby. They gave us sheets and sheets of information, tips, and recommendations which came in very handy. The fridge was also filled woth juice, fruits, snacks, and water. They also always checked in with us through email to make sure everything was okay. Made us feel very safe!! Patricia was very prompt with emails and answered any question we had.
As for the apartment itself, wonderful location!! Super close to the beach and well situated so you can walk to both Copacabana and Ipanema. The apartment also has very friendly doormen who are there 24 hours and greeted us each time we entered and left. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend anyone else to do the same!
