I enjoyed staying this place. The apartment is comfortable, clean, well stocked and looked after. The location is great....about a block and a half to Copacabana with shops, bars, restaurants around and a 10 minute walk to Ipanema. I can only say good things about Paulo Marcos. Though I never met him personally, he checked in regularly and also let me have a few extra hours when I had a late flight. I do have to add that the building itself is a bit dark from the outside (and on the inside too for that matter), but the apartment itself is great for 2 people!
