The apartment is absolutely a great place, bright, clean and safe with a view on the Copacabana Beach. We felt at home right from the beginning! Even the fridge was already filled with juice, coke, water and beer and some cookies were on the table together with a list of very helpful pieces of advice where to go and what to see, how to get there, restaurant tips etc. Patricia and Paulo are perfect and brilliant hosts who waited patiently for us though our flight was 12 hours delayed. They were always available to keep in touch and took care of all our needs at any time. When we had to leave we were happy to know that we could "come back home" again to "our" apartment one week later!
