Paulo had been tracking our flight so was waiting for us outside the building when the taxi dropped us off. He showed us around the apartment which was clean and well equipped and told us everything we needed to know - great service!
The apartment is perfectly located for easy access to both Copacabana and Ipanema and only 10 minutes walk to 2 metro stations.
While we were there we only had to email Paulo & Patricia if we needed any help or advice about visiting places. They also left us a list of tips and recommendations which we found very useful especially the fantastic bakery across the road for breakfast where we also met them on our last day to say goodbye.
We could not have asked for more; thank you Paulo & Patricia!
