It’s actually my second stay at this magical apartment. I live and work in São Paulo, and I often have to come to Rio, and no of my other hotel/apartment options can bit this one, that’s what I have realized this time. I find it really special. The sunset hammock time with the view of Pavão Pavãozinho and the Two Brothers is the meditation, amongst the precious moments of life. And then I really enjoyed how the things have changed in the house, from the new kitchen upstairs and the big new closet to more art on the walls. Bedsheets and towels are of an amazing quality, Brazil doesn’t have much of that. I had a bit of an issue with the music that the same community of Pavãozinho was playing till like 3am on one of the nights, but I have to say the music was great, if only I didn’t have to wake up early for work next morning. I especially like the European vibe of this place and I much enjoyed Nataly’s help with our check-in as much as Fyodor being in touch all the time and suggesting a couple of great new places to eat out. I’m definitely coming back, better sooner than later!
