My stay with Barbara was absolutely fantastic. For it being my first time in Brazil, I was very nervous and didn’t know what to expect. I heard such crazy things about Brazil but thankfully, I had an amazing time. The apartment was in the most perfect location. Right in the center of Copacabana. 24 hour restaurants, many locals, and a currency exchange spot right downstairs next to the building. A completely safe location as well! Barbara also let me extend my stay for 2 additional nights last minute without a problem and granted me a late checkout. She went above and beyond and was very respsonsive at any time I needed assistance. The only negative thing I can say about the apartment is that the TV in the bedroom does not work and the bed has very sharp edges so please be careful if you’re drunk. I hurt my leg quite a few times (lol) but other than that, I absolutely loved it and hope to stay here again for my next visit.
