Juliana was fantastic once again we cannot recommend her enough as a host. This was our second time staying in her apartment this year as we stayed there in April also,which again was a brilliant trip.

The apartment is bright and very spacious with great air conditioning in the both the bedroom and living room(Thank god as Irish men are not built for summers in Rio). The bedroom was very clean with loads of wardrobe space and both the bedroom and living room have a flat screen cable TV, perfect to relax in front of after a day under the Brazilian sun.

The living area is great 2 comfortable sofas and a lovely little table to eat/work at. There is a private balcony with a table and chairs or a very welcoming leather sofa, a great place to enjoy a cold beer on a wonderful warm evening in Rio listening to the culture around you. (A favourite to end the day).
The toilet is another often overlooked feature of an apartment when renting, this one is the business amazing shower and fantastic vanity area with large mirror and very very clean surroundings from the toilet itself to the spotless sink.

One of my favourite things about the apartment though is the location, it is literally 5 minutes walk from Copacabana beach and the buzz of the shops around it or 10 mins by taxi to Logoa or Ipanema or 20 mins to Maracana.

We are planning on staying with Juliana again in 2015 between her kind service and hospitality it is only matched by her fantastic homely apartment.
