I stayed here for two and a half months and could not have found a better place! Renato and Fabiola are some of the kindest people I met in Brazil and went above and beyond to make me feel a part of the family. The apartment itself was perfect; it's located right between Copacabana and Ipanema and is walking distance from taxi service, a 24 hour grocery store, bike rentals, and the General Osario metro station. The room was very spacious, with tons of storage and natural light. Everything was super clean, and Renato provided fresh sheets and towels on a regular basis. I cooked every day in the kitchen and had everything I needed, and really appreciated having access to laundry services in the apartment. Plus the veranda, with beautiful plants and a hammock, was a great place to read or have a coffee! But the thing that made this place really special was Fabiola and Renato's warm hospitality; I felt right at home the minute I came to the apartment and Fabiola greeted me with coffee and fresh pao de queijo! They were also super accommodating of my changing travel plans, and were happy to receive my mother as well when she came to visit me in Rio (she loved the place as well!). I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a place to stay in Rio, and hope to come back soon. Thank you Fabiola, Renato, and Santinha for a great stay!
