My boyfriend and I had an absolutely wonderful stay at Patricia and Mik's loft! They were always incredibly responsive and helpful, and they really went above and beyond. They were really flexible with out check-in and check-out times, plus they had also provided a number for someone to pick us up from the airport (he was equally really helpful!). Echoing the previous reviews, their loft is absolutely beautiful and the view of Rio is stunning. Mik had built the whole house and they designed it themselves. I really appreciate how uniquely decorated it is. They had also provided some breakfast/food items for us, along with a few things to purchase, which was really convenient to have. They have a well thought-out guidebook of their favorite places in Rio and it was really cool to read through all of the suggestions. Patricia and Mik had also invited us to go with them to one of the Carnaval blocos in Santa Teresa and we had so much fun :) We really were happy with our experience here - I think it was probably one of my favorite aspects of visiting Rio. If you can, I definitely suggest staying here.
