We stayed at the above penthouse from 8th March to 13th March and had a wonderful time in Rio, we were a large party of different ages and the apartment was perfect, very well located in a safe friendly neighbourhood near to the shops, bars, restaurants and within easy walking distance of Copacabana Beach. They had someone on Reception day and night and David the owner could not have been more helpful putting us in touch with people who could organise tours, football tickets and pick ups from airports etc. The apartment was very well equipped and had delightful outdoor spaces where we could eat, drink and relax with glimpses of the sea from one side and top of the mountains from the other. We were a party staying prior to a wedding and the lovely relaxed atmosphere and the sights of Rio certainly got this special holiday off to a great start.

This was the best place for a large group of people. What we really loved about it was having the living spaces inside and out for us to be together or apart as the mood and activities of our group eventuated. We all felt this was valuable to the success of our group and our bonding, plus it gave us spaces where we could be alone if we chose to. Having 2x kitchen facilities was also great as well as all the bathroom facilities and some bedrooms with en-suites. The decor is so welcoming and attractive with many decorating details added to create the ambiance of the accommodation . We just loved this and felt we were in a special place. The property is clean and well maintained, and the descriptions given are accurate for the amenities provided The property is central, very easy to access and we would recommend the Penthouses to any group of people we know travelling to Rio. Thank you DavidOwner response: I'm so glad you had a wonderful time in Rio and in my home. You are another family "wedding party" that has stayed in my penthouse. It's a privilege to be part of such a memorable and important occasion. And I'm so happy that we could provide you 'a home in Rio' that allowed you to enjoy each others company in beautiful and comfortable surroundings. I hope to see you all back again in Rio!!

It gives me extreme pleasure to be able to write this review. It is the least that I can do to thank the owner David, and his staff for a spectacular stay. I rented out both sides of this home for some VIP clients, my parents and their friends. One of the best things I had planned for their stay. I service began from my first contact with David. Every email I wrote with questions, was responded to that same day, and made me feel comfortable from the start. Since I live in Rio, I asked to visit the apartment, as to sometimes in Rio you don't get what the photo shows. How happy I was to see that the quality of the apartment was exactly what I saw. The apartment is extremely well kept, from the paint, to the exotic artwork, the first class bathrooms, and even the items in the kitchen. They seem to have thought of everything that would be needed. We were given VIP service from the start. Remember, we were a group of 12, so had a lot of luggage. The staff was there to take our bags upstairs, as if we were in a hotel. There was even daily maid service. I always had access to assistance, at whatever time. I myself was lucky enough to catch the owner while he was in Rio, and he made it a point to greet my family personally. What a difference it makes when you rent a quality home, from quality people. Looking forward to the next time of renting it again. Thank you David and staff!!Owner response: Thank you so much for your generous and kind words of praise. It is music to my ears!!! We try very hard to provide a First Class experience, in a friendly environment, for each of our guests. It is a treat for us to meet and interact with such diverse group of guests and provide them a special introduction to this unique city. It was a great pleasure to meet you, Roshni, and your parents and relatives. It was their first time to Rio, and I'm so glad we could contribute to their wonderful stay in this marvelous city that I love so much.

I organized a group of 16 people to stay at David's penthouse. The place was lovely, although perhaps slightly smaller than we anticipated based on the beautiful pictures on the website. However there was still plenty of space, it is a great value, and the terraces and views are quite stunning. David was very responsive and helpful from the beginning of communications and throughout the duration of our stay. He repeatedly offered to help with places to go and things to do in Rio, and even offered translation help to ensure that all our needs were met at the property. He has an on-site assistance who make sure that things run smoothly while people are visiting. I had heard that Copacabana could be a bit sketchy particularly at night, and relative to Ipanema, however I did not find this to be true. I felt safe day or night in the neighborhood, and its proximity to the beach made it very convenient. Overall we had a great stay, and I recommend the coral penthouse to anyone with a large group looking to visit beautiful Rio de Janeiro!Owner response: It was privilege to have you and your guests for the wedding party stay in my home, Justin. Although a large group, we were able to accommodate you all at a very reasonable rate. And unlike a hotel, you could enjoy staying all under one roof like a real family. I look forward to your return!

Our family of 6 adults rented the entire penthouse for 5 days and loved staying here. The location is ideal if you want to be near the beaches yet convenient to metro and restaurants. The penthouse is beautifully decorated with everything you need. The owner provided a great driver/tour guide who spoke English and was very helpful. The cleaning service was every other day and very nice. The manager gave my adult sons information on all the clubs and night life. We enjoyed having our coffee and drinks out on the terraces which had partial views of the mountains and the beach. The penthouse is on the 11th floor, elevators going to the 10th so its a short walk up. Good security. Wi-fi and cable TV. It feels like staying in your own home, the problem is you never want to leave! We will always stay here when visiting Rio. David, the owner provided plenty of information before we arrived so we knew where things were and what we wanted to do. Thank you David for making the experience so pleasurable!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

The owner was super helpful and accommodating getting our large group in and allowing for split payments before we arrived. The penthouse was well furnished, clean and had a great balcony and view! Only a few blocks walking distance to Copacabana Beach, and a delicious 24 hour snack shop right across the street!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

There is absolutely nothing but positive to say about this Penthouse; it's located at a perfect spot close to all facilities in the middle of Copacabana. We stayed, 17 persons, for one week in July 2012, and felt like we were at a luxury hotel during this period! There shouldn't be need of saying much more than this... A perfect place to spend your time if you are to travel with a large group to Rio de janeiro!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Fabulous apt, fabulous service, what more can be said!? We booked directly with David - very last minute due to problems with other accommodation which he took in his stride, welcomed us personally quite late at night and ensured we were settled in for the night. He assisted us with every activity, had great recommendations for nights out and meals making sure we had a great time in Rio. The apt is beautiful and the location is great. Close to metro, buses, restaurants and the beach! Highly recommended. Thanks again David.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Awesome penthouse flat, cracking views of Rio. 7 of us stayed and flat is very spacious, very clean. Great hospitality by the owner and assistants which were super friendly. Very close proximity to Copacabana beach. Close transport links to metro and bus to move around the city. 1st experience of staying in an apartment, and has made me reconsider about staying in hotels after this experience. Would 100% return to the same flat!!!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2005
About the owner: I was born in California, where the only thing I knew about Brazil growing up was that I loved Sergio Mendez and Brazil '66!! Having lived in New York for 25 I met a lot of Brazilians. But only traveled there in 2000. I fell in love with Brazil, it's people, history and culture and started visiting on a regular basis.
Why the Owner Chose Rio de Janeiro:
After renting for many years, I bought this penthouse in 2005. It was a beautiful, and historic property and in an ideal location. It is convenient to everything. 2 blocks to the beach, 1 to the subway. The neighborhood is completely safe and full of supermarkets, cafes, banks, etc.
