Patricia was a wonderful host in every way and made our time in Rio memorable. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about the city and made excellent recommendations on restaurants and night spots, which turn out to be all winners! Patricia was delightful and definitely went above and beyond to make our stay in her apartment very comfortable. If you have the opportunity to stay at her place, you will not regret it.

In regards to the apartment, the space worked well for my group (four people). 2 people shared the master bedroom and two on the sofa bed. The kitchen was well stacked with food and drinks provided by Patricia (so nice of her!).
The apartment was in a great location of the city, and we felt very safe. I would say it is a great alternative to staying in Copacabana, and I am glad we made the decision to stay in Botofogo instead. The place is a short cab ride to Copacabana and Lapa (fun area for nightlife).

In short, if you are looking for a place in Rio and an alternative to a hotel, you cannot go wrong with Patricia’s place.
