Regina is very sweet, detail oriented, and has obviously taken very good care of her apartment. It's fabulously located with easy walking access to both Copacabana and Leblon, plus the park at Arpoador--having this ease of access is somewhat rare! The building is really a nice, calm residential one that is in very good condition. Some may find the styling a little dated/traditional, but that's Rio for you... Kind of stuck in the 60's in a nostalgic way ;) .. The patio is lovely, and Regina has some nice plants out there to keep you company. In the bedroom, where there's the house's only A/C unit, you'll find two twin beds. I have to be honest that the beds, bedding and towels aren't really anything to write home about, but having lived there, I am somewhat obligated to caveat that Rio isn't a place where one expects a lot of creature comforts. This apartment is in very good condition, and has some features not found everywhere (patio, double pained glass doors to keep the noise out, fans, quiet A/C for a window-style unit, etc). Because this is Regina's own/former residence, she wants to see you take care of it, too. Having seen the type of apartment that it is in the photos, I would assume that this is what you're looking for. If you want something a bit more amenable to bringing friends over and the like, there are probably better apartments for you. All in all a positive experience and a host(ess) that strives to please.
