Really charming apartment in a great neighborhood. As you are sandwiched between Copacabana and Leblon—and just minutes from the beach and from the fantastic lagoon that you can walk or jog around—I'd say the best things about the apartment are the location, cheerful decor, and the view from the living room where you can see Cristo himself. Also, Vie is great at communicating: very fast and reliable. Our only disappointments were with the quality of the towels and the fact that there was (bizarrely) no soap in either bathroom. Also, two of the lamps were missing lightbulbs (though this wasn't really a problem because there were plenty of other lights to use). So there could be a tad more attention to detail. That said, these were minor problems, which is why I enthusiastically give Vie and her flat five stars.
