Valerie has made us feel welcome from the start! She has communicated with us in many personal messages maing sure that we were fully informed before and during our stay. She explained everything in great detail (from laundry service to fruit store). She is a wonderful host and we felt truly welcome. Her friend Cesar let us into the apartment, greeting us with the words "that he has lived abroad before and he knows how it is when everything is new". This motto was shared by both Valerie and Cesar and it truly made the difference.
The apartment is even more perfect that the pictures can tell. The view and calm atmosphere from the terrasse is such a bonus. We especially enjoyed the bright spacious apartment with comfortable beds and tasteful decoration. Being from Europe originally, we welcomed the real bedding, what a treat! The description of the apartment from the website is spot on.
Another nice treat is the team of secuity guards, such friendly people, taking interest in our daily plans and rushing to hold doors open or get the lift. Thank you!
The neighbourhood is very safe. The apartment is on a street parallel to Copacabana Beach and in 3 Minutes one is by the waterside, where an attaentive team ("MAMA") waits with sun umbrellas and beach chairs... we headed out for daily adventures. Easy walking distance from Ipanema Beach as well.
Cesar took us to the airport in his taxi on our last day. Thank you for everything.
