Patrick was wonderful, and all was as described on the listing .... the location was super, a few blocks from the beach, and super convenient to shops, restaurants, the metro, buses, bike rental stand, etc. Apartment was well equipped, and professionally cleaned every three days. Wifi worked well, as did TV (I think, we don't watch), and having a doorman building was important to us since United lost our suitcases and would have been a problem to get them delivered if we did not have a doorman. Only small drawback was a bit noisy from street noise (cafe/bars) on friday and saturday nights, until about midnight .... but overall, a great place. We would stay again, not least because Patrick was so very helpful to us, offering advice and guidance on our first visit to Rio. Thanks, Patrick!
