We were 7 girls staying in Rio over the carnival for 2 weeks.

Bernardo and his wife were very hospitable and friendly helping us to coordinate our arrivals and departures. They gave us a lot of tips and advices and helped in every issue we had. For example, they provided us with extra address for the delivery of the lost luggage (so that we wouldn't sit at home all day and wait for delivery). And when the key broke down in the lock, Bernardo came the same day to change the lock ( and it was carnival Sunday, when nothing works).

Regarding the apartment itself, it is located perfectly. The bus from airport stops in 5 min walking distance. It's also just 5 minutes from Copacabana and Ipanema, that's why every morning we started with sun bathing. For 7 people we had enough space, and it was ok to share 2 bathrooms. However, one of the rooms didn't have air conditioner and during the night it was too hot there. During the stay we had some problems with elevator. Be careful and count the weight of your bags too, otherwise it easily gets overloaded.

We would like to thank Bernardo for a hosting and helping us and recommend his apartment!!
