We loved every minute here. I was greeted by Paulo when I arrived and he gave me tour of the apartment, explained how everything worked and gave me recommendations. Patricia and Paulo were also very good at answering all our questions before and during the stay. The apartment was awesome and had everything we needed. Also they provided a great little guide of safety tips, information on how to get to various sights of interest, and a list of markets and restaurants that they recommended. The apartment was also in a great area, exactly as was described in the listing, only a short walk to the beach. Also the sunrise over Copacabana beach was spectacular from the apartment window. Overall it was a fantastic stay and I would recommend this to anyone.
