This is a lovely studio apartment with views of copacabana beach. The apartment is compact but very complete in terms of equipment etc and a lot of storage space if you are staying for a longer period as we did. It is in a great location for public transport and strolls along the beach.

Patricia was a particularly great host. She provided us with lots of information via email on our arrival detailing where to shop, what to see, what services were available in the area and even security information.

When we met Patricia in person she was a real sweetie, with lots of travel stories to tell also. Having travelled herself she knows exactly what other travellers need and she provided all of that. Her English is fantastic (although she very modestly denied it!) and she kept in constant email contact both before and during our visit.

We would highly recommend this apartment and host to anyone
