Wow-- Fernanda's place was everything we dreamed of. Anyone who has seen the photos will know how great it looks, and it lived up to that, and more, in reality. Fernanda is lovely, she met us and showed us around the apartment and was available to help if we needed, but nothing went wrong. Sunset from the terrace our first night was an amazing welcome. The layout of the apartment was perfect for a couple--lots of room to work, play music. AC was super for the hot days. The doorman Celso and others were helpful and charming. But the location was the unexpected jewel. The building is in the middle of "restaurant row" with gourmet establishments to the right and left and we had a couple of our best meals ever at Oui Oui, to the the left, and Iraja Gastro, to the right. The markets and restaurants of Cobal were a couple of blocks away The bus to the metro stopped practically at the corner. I recommend that y'all come here, but I hope not when we want to return. I've been coming to Rio for 8 years and can't imagine ever staying anywhere else in future. Five star recommendation!
