This apartment was perfect! My husband and I enjoy a quiet place to relax when we are on vacation, but we honestly did not expect that to be possible Anywhere in Rio during Carnival. We were wrong! The apartment was conveniently located close to everything (including a metro station across the street, and the beach only 5 minutes away) but also nestled in a very private corner where we couldn’t hear anything but the birds. Not to mention that Patricia and Carlos were wonderful hosts, completely responsive to all of our questions both before and during our stay. We will be back to Rio in the future, and there is no place else we would want to stay.
