Patricia’s apartment is absolutely fantastic! The apartment is clean, bright, and airy, with a very comfortable bed, sofa, nice bathroom, and a kitchen with everything you could want to prepare a meal.

The location is ideal with easy access to all of the important sights in Rio. There are ample taxi’s right out the front door and the main line of buses is within one block. The metro is only about 5 minutes by foot. Copacabana beach is about 30 seconds away and it is a short and pleasant walk to Ipanema.

There are numerous cafes and restaurants everywhere and grocery stores around the corner. Patricia’s building has 24 hour security so one feels extremely safe. Patricia is a wonderful host and is always ready to offer assistance. She even made a nice list of travel tips with the best area restaurants and information on traveling throughout Rio.

I plan to stay at Patricia’s on my next visit to wonderful Rio!
