Great combination of a very nice place, with a great location and amazing service. Andreas was great from day one since I booked it. He sent me a very thourough document with do and don'ts for a Río de Janeiro visit. Even though that Andreas doesn't live in the area, he is very well represented by Peter. Our flight was an early arrival flight and he let us take a nap in one of the bedrooms while they were still cleaning the rest of the unit. That nap was worth a million! Thanks Peter! Peter sat down with us and showed us a map with key things to visit. I took a picture of it and had it in my phone for reference. Peter coordinated a driver to picked us at the airport, which I strongly recommend for the arrival. It was great to know that someone was waiting for you with a sign and then took us to the right place including the security guard clearance. For the departure, UBER is probably a better option, however, we prearranged both with Peter. The AlC units are a lot better than any hotel's unit. We slept very well. The beach is just across the street and the security is very good. Next door to the the apt, there is a very nice breakfast place called Appetite. We went there every day, nice expresso and omelettes for 1/3 of the cost of the hotel next door. UBER worked fantastic for us. We had dinner in Leblon Restaurants and went to the beach every day in both Copacabana and Ipanema. There are plenty of restaurants at walking distance, however, we like to go where locals go, so a $3-4 UBER took us to amazing restaurants. Saludos,
