I had a perfect vacation in Rio. Apartment is exactly as described. Top of the line furnishings and amenities. Owner was extremely helpful in making arrangements and answered any and all questions that I had. Apartment is in an ideal location for people who want to enjoy Copacabana and Ipanema areas. Apartment was very safe and very clean. Well worth consideration if you need an apartment in Rio!

We - a family of 6 - had a very good stay in the condo in October 2011. The condo is spacious and very well equipped. The rental process was very smooth and both our arrival and departure went very well with good help from the ownerand the condo manager. The pictures of the condo, as presented on the website are very accurate, and the condo is very well maintained and clean. We will recommend the condo anytime

The owner of this fine apartment described it very well and was extremely helpful in making the rental process as smooth as possible. The apartment is very well apointed and to say the accomodation is comfortable would be an understatement. Would recommend without hesitation.

Exquisite property

I am a New York based frequent traveler to Brazil, and often go to Sao Paulo for business and Rio for pleasure. (Although the Rio economy is picking up substantially due to the World Cup, Olympics and offshore oil discoveries.) I met the owners of the flat four years ago and they suggested I rent from them. Since then I have always stayed at the flat and consider it my home away from home in Rio. The flat is centrally located at the end of Copecabana and has wonderful amenities. The building has friendly doormen. Ipanema beach is a ten minute walk, Copecabana a stonesthrow. The bedrooms are pristine quiet and comfortable. The living space is expansive allowing ample opportunity for socializing. The internet always works well, which I find can be elusive in Brazil at times. The kitchen is magnificent, a testament to the owner's restaurant experience in the US. I brought my entire family here last year for a week's vacation and it was one of our favorite trips ever. The owners are very conscientious and easy to work with.

This condo is amazing! It is very spacious, comfortable and has absolutely everything you need. We did allot of cooking and were very impressed with the quality of the kitchen supplies. It was perfect for our family. It's centrally located, close to the beaches, restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, and subway. I would highly recommend staying here!

The location is tucked away and just around the corner from everything. Open the door, and feel like you lucked out. The pictures don't do it justice. See and do as much as you want, then come back, unwind, or recharge. It's an open living space, but has bedrooms you can retreat to. Not good beds, but great ones you look for labels on. Their drivers give insider know-how to getting around, and recommending your way to a better time. It's not a hotel, it's a home in Rio with the convenience all around you.

WOW!!! .... This condo is exceptional. Its convenient to everything, I walked everywhere from this location, to both Copacabana and Ipanema Beaches. The pictures really don't do this place justice. The apartment is very well maintained, clean, comfortable and spacious. The neighborhood was central and very safe. I felt like I was really living in Rio, I felt like a native. You will truly enjoy this home.

wow we had an amazing time in Rio. The condo pics don't do justice to actually being in that place , it has an open concept and windows galour . It felt like you were in your own home . John the owner had arranged for a maid that came everyday and cooked delicious breakfast for us,did laundry and ironed. It felt wonerful for a little cost we were pampered. We were nine of us five young adults two grandmas and us . 2 blocks away from Copocabana's beautiful beaches and a building with 24 hour doorman who was always smiling.We were in heaven. We felt very welcomed and Doni the caretaker was extremely friendly and yet only a phone call away .We all had fun vacation . I can never go back to Rio if we can't have this gorgeous apartment.Four spacious bedrooms with four full bathrooms . It felt like home and felt like no other vacation rental we have ever stayed at.Abrigada like the Brazilians would say for thankyou.Cheers!! We highly recommend this place to any one willing to be comfortable.

What a fabulous condo!!! The photos in the site don't give justice to the actual look of this place since it's really nicer. You will feel at home the moment you step inside. What more, it's centrally located, close to the beaches, restaurants, grocery stores, shopping, and subway. I will not hesitate staying here again when I get back to Rio de Janeiro and I highly recommend it to friends and family. The owner even arranged airport pickup to make sure that we won't be taken for a "ride" by dishonest cab drivers.

I just came back from 1 week at this apartment (Nov 2009) & highly recommend it. It's centrally located, just 2 blocks from Copacabana beach & a short walk away from Ipanema. You can find supermarkets, drugstores & bakeries all within a 1 block range. The apartment is very spacious & nicely decorated - it feels like you are staying at someone's home. It has all appliances one might need, including washer & dryer, which made our visit so much more easier & pleasant. I would love to stay there again.
