I am sorry I did not meet Patricia but Paulo waited a long time for us to arrive because of an airport delay. Patricia and Paulo's place was beautiful, clean and in a great location. We have stayed in Copacabana many times and this was the best place we have rented. The apartment has everything you would want, it was immaculate and is located only one block from the beach. You can see the beach by going to the window though it does not directly look out to the beach. Patricia was so kind to email us the night before our departure to arrange a taxi. I am glad she did because taxis looked scarce when we left early Sunday morning. I would love to stay there again and will try to rent it again for our next trip!
