Just visited Rio, my friends and I had an amazing time, they were very helpful and took out trip few steps above our imagination. Cannot wait to go back. Thanks, Boris.

This was my third trip to Rio. Most important for me is response time when I make a reservation or have a question and this company gets an A+ on both accounts. If you know Brazil, you will understand that this is very unusual - even with top hotels. The company was honest and friendly in their dealings with me. And the apartment was exactly as shown in the photos - a lovely studio in Arpoador, in a lovely, secure building one block from the beach. This is a very professional company, which I would recommend to anyone.

We rented a 2-bedrooms penthouse through StartBrazil and received the best service imaginable. The apartment was clean, exactly like the photos, in great condition and beautiful. The service, including maid service, was very professional and very service-oriented. I would recommend staying with them to anyone! From the transportation they arranged to the financal arrangement for payment, the service, friendliness, and always quick replies, they were by far the best service imaginable. Thanks again!

This year it was my seventh time in Rio and for the first time I came for the carnival. And also it was the third time I rented with SatrtBrazil. There is a big difference between staying in a hotel room and renting an apartment - feeling that you are living in this marvelous city, not just visiting as an average gringo. I stayed in 3 different apartments: CA3B6 (AV NSA de Copacabana 1227) has unforgettable view to Copacabana beach - going to sleep or early in the morning right from your bed you can see the beet of waves on the beach, people jogging, walking, swimming and you can spend hours just watching this. IA2B20 - ml (Rua Teixeira de Melo 50) is really modern (it seems like a very good remodeling of the apartment has been done recently), very clean and convenient apartment just 3 minute away from the metro and round a corner from the busy square - Praca Gen. Osorio with lots of restaurants and shops. IP2B5 (Rua Raul Pompeia 24) is quite expensive, but it's really a good penthouse to have carnival parties - 3 levels, private pool, large balcony and indoor living area, and a terrific view to the city! All the apartments were in very good condition and I don't know how they do it, but you can always call or email management and somebody will bring or fix something you need right in a few minutes. Well in the end the most important about rentals is trust - when you are prepaying deposit, when the apartment is as good as you saw it in the pics, when you are sure that you won't be left alone with some possible household difficulties - my experience proved me that I can trust the team of StartBrazil and next year I'm surely going to rent with them.
