Leticia was warm and welcoming from the moment I arrived, I had all the information I needed to feel confident at arriving quite late at night before I'd even left Australia.

Throughout my stay Leticia's apartment was always spotless, it was modern and spacious and made me feel completely at home. As I was staying for work the amazing storage in my room was a definite plus!

The location of the apartment is superb - you are within walking distance of both Ipanema and Copacabana beaches, as well as so many cafes/restaurants/juice bars and easy access to convenience stores and grocers.

My long hours meant that I didn't get to know Leticia's Rio as well as I would have liked, however she was forthcoming with recommendations and tips for when I had the chance to enjoy some leisure time.

I was so sad to leave and am already planning to head back and spend more time with Leticia in Rio!
