  • This is the first time that my wife and I traveled to Recife and at first we were planning to book a hotel room, but we are very glad that we didn’t. We stayed at Bob’s place instead from May 12 to May 19, 2008. The apartment looked exactly as it was described on Bob’s posting. The apartment was very clean, the rooms were very spacious with plenty closet space, the A/C units worked well in every room, we did not use the kitchen that much, but everything worked well. We used the laundry machine with no problems. Bob’s apartment is located in Piedade beach and that location was great. We rented a small vehicle for the length of our stay and drove to many places in the city – shopping for the wife. We parked behind Bob’s vehicle which was fine. The building personnel were very friendly. Costa, the property manager was extremely helpful and accommodating. We only used the maid service once because it was just the two of us and having that included in the cost is great. She even offered to buy food and cook for us! Isn’t that great? If you get a chance and have a vehicle take the time to visit Porto de Galinhas (beautiful beaches 40 minutes drive south), Olinda (can’t swim there, but go out and eat out – 15 minutes drive north), and Joao Pessoa (amazing place, we recommend you to go to Tambau beach, it is very nice and clean, great food – 2 hours drive north), or just simply enjoyed Boa Viagem beach and Piedade Beach, nice scene on the weekends. We really enjoyed our stay at Bob’s place. It was exactly what we were looking for and we hope to visit Recife again in the future.

  • I stayed in the apartment in August 2007. The apartment is modern and luxurious, much better than staying in a hotel. The view of the ocean is spectacular and the location is convienient to restaurants and shopping. The maid is very friendly and accomodating, she made my stay even that much more enjoyable. I can't say enough great things about the apartment and my visit to Recife. This is the place to stay in Recife!

  • My wife and I stayed at the apartment last July 2007. We were very pleased with the amount of space and the number of bedrooms. There was plenty of space for our son (15 monthes at the time) to run around and play. The breeze from the ocean in the main sitting area was wonderful. As I have told Bob before, we plan to stay there again the next time we visit Recife, Brazil.

  • From early January to the end of March 2005, my good friend Marc and I rented this apartment and discovered a real peace haven. This apartment is outstanding, spacious, clean and very well furnished with a marvelous view on the ocean. We found a true friend in our maid Jael who did her job conscientiously and always with a smile. This apartment, right on the beach, is quiet and very well located. I highly recommend it.
