My boyfriend and I had an excellent week in Rio in the summer of 2013, thanks in large part to our stay at Patricia and Paulo's place in Copacabana! The apartment was exactly what we needed - a comfortable, quiet, clean place to sleep - with easy access to the rest of the city! Patricia and Paulo were the very best of hosts - even coming in to clean for us when a neighboring demolition project caused the bathroom to become very dusty. They were so helpful with this very minor inconvenience. I would recommend this apartment and these hosts to anyone!
