We didn't have the opportunity to meet Patricia but I can say that she is one of the most respectfull hostess that i ever had.
She sent us a guide of what to do in Rio and we anjoyed everything she said.
The apartment location is great because you have a lot of points to go out and the beach is just in front of you.
Hope to meet her soon because everybody who knows Rio wants to come back.
Thanks and good luck!
