This apartment made our Dream Holiday a reality!

We cannot thank Valerie (and Cezar) enough for their hospitality! The apartment was spotless on arrival and has the most beautiful decorating. The beds are comfortable and the TV/Ipod system was a great treat to play our music and relax after a day on Ipanema or Copacabana. (Perhaps bring an extra towel for the beach).

The location is excellent. It is about a 3 min walk to Copacabana Beach (literally around the corner) and Ipanema is about a 10min walk. There is a convenience store across the road (as well as a Club) with restaurants/take-aways below the apartment building. It's located on a main road in Copacabana where there are plenty of shops, clubs, eateries etc. (all within walking distance). There is also a Metro which is about 10-15min walk from the apartment to get into Downtown Rio (to see the museums & history of Rio)

Valerie was always available for us and even though she was not in the country, we were always able to email her or ask Cezar (who assisted us with getting in etc). My only advisory is to practice opening the front door (turn the key ALL the way to left and push) and it can be a little tricky at first :)

The apartment comes with free WiFi which is a massive plus to link your cellphone to Facebook/BBM to keep the friends and family back home in touch with your activities.

Rio is an incredible city; so much to offer! Beaches, Shopping, The Jungle, Christ the Redeemer, Downtown museums/buildings and city life...
We will definitely stay here again when we return to Rio.

We cannot thank you enough Valerie and Cezar for the wonderful memories that we created on our holiday - Thank you Thank you Thank you!
