After our trip to Rio De Jenario, it was clear that there are 2 important things for me: 1- Convenience 2- Security.

Patricia's apartment provided these 2 things very well because:

1- Its location is in a perfect spot. Apartment is by the beach in Copacabana and it's 10-15 min walking distance from the Ipanema Beach, just a block away from the bus stops. Also there are a lot of nice restaurants around the apartment for breakfast / lunch and dinner.
2- Patricia provided every single detail to have the best sightseeing in Rio and that was very helpful.
3- Pictures on the website are not misleading and you get what you see. It's perfect for 2 people. It was clean, A/C was working perfectly and she also provided a lot of clean towels which was very nice of her.
4- The building was very secure, it was well protected and this is really important in Rio.

Bottom line, Rio is a very interesting and beautiful city. If you'd like to go there you should stay somewhere secure and close to either Copacabana Beach or Ipenema Beach and Patricia's apartment is just by the ocean and you can enjoy both beaches. Patrica and all the other stuff are so polite, kind and helpful. I strongly recommend her apartment.
