Owner

My name is Christian and I am the administrator of the apartments. Because of my work as a programmer of big computers, I have lived and worked in different cities. As a foreigner, I have always found it difficult to rent a flat without any hassle. I like to provide accommodation to travellers, business people and families trying to make your stay comfortable and that you feel at "home" even being abroad. I hope I can contribute a little bit you to have a "smooth" touch down in Sao Paulo, Rio and Barcelona.

Apartment Magalhaes

I have been to Brazil seven times.The last three visits in 2005, 2006, and 2008, I have stayed in Christian's lovely apartment in Copacabana. If you are the independent type of traveler, you will completely enjoy Christian's apartment. It is tastefully and beautifully decorated. Everything is new and works to perfection. He has everything one would need to be at home: tasteful dishes, coffee cups and wine glasses, as well as everything needed to cook a great meal.

The apartment is within walking distance of many things: 24 hour supermarkets, drugstores, internet cafes and the Metro which is just around the corner. In three visits, I have never heard any noise from any of the neighbors. The walls are thick which make the apartment quiet. I think it was probably built in the 1940's.There is a view of the "Christo Redentor" from the living room window".

The apartment, about three blocks back from the beach, is actually a better location than being right on the beach. It is a real neighborhood, not the tourist area of Avenida Copacabana.

Rio is a geographically stunning city. Nowhere does the jungle, ocean, and mountains come together to create such a visual effect.You will have a marvelous time made all the better by staying in this great apartment.

>Just a short to to say everything was wonderful in Rio. Your apartment once again made everything so nice. I had some friends over for dinner one night so I purchased eight large red wine glasses which I have donated to your apartment.I left them in the blue cabinet with the other dishes. April 2006. Steven - USA.

Delightful appartment. Really enjoyed it. I forgot to tell Sr. Luciano that I broke 2, maybe three glasses when they fell off the drying board. Sorry for that, will buy you new ones when I am back there again, USA - August

Dear Chris:Love the apartment! Met mr luciano and everything is super nice!
USA - September 2005

Christian, Again your apt was a delight, I love it. If you could send
me a reciept again, (remember I only arrived on Saturday,unfortunately). I would be grateful. I take it that the apt isreserved for the week of carnaval? USA - October 2005

Christian, desculpe me para no escrivendo. Foi marvelhosa, todo estava bem. Senor Luciano estava magnifico. Foi successo! O apartemento estava perfeito! Gostei muito. Desculpe me porque eu nao posso soletra!Eu aindo amo Brasil! USA - July 2005

Your apartment was FANTASTIC! Everything about it was perfect.It was an integral part of making my vacation just wonderful. You did a marvelous job of refurbshing the apartment, even down to the placing of the drain in the shower in the corner not in the center. We have very similar tastes in terms of decorations. Luciano and his wife were great, particularly putting up with my broken Portuguese.I gave your web address to a flight attendant for United who said she was looking for an apartment this month. I tentatively will be returning to Rio next year about the same time,probably for a little longer period, so I will want to rent from you again.Thank you again for your part in making my trip so incredible. San Francisco - April 2005

Hallo Christian,wir haben eine sehr schöne Woche in Rio verbracht mit viel Sonne. Die Wohnung hat uns super gefallen.Die Lage ist optimal und Herr Luciano ist sehr freundlich. Lange werden wir noch an diese Zeit zurückdenken. Grüsse aus dem frühlingshaften Deutschland- April 2005

Hi Christian, we meant to write to you and tell you what a good time we had! The apartment was lovely, I don´t think we would have changed anything, and Mr Luciano was very sweet to us, it was just a shame we couldn´t talk to him properly. We are now in Buzios, (staying a bit longer than we planned because it is so nice!) before we start moving down to Argentina. I think we will go back to Rio for one night because there is a Lenny Kravitz concert on Copacabana beach and then move on. Thank you for everything, we had a great time in Rio in your apartment, we think you´re very lucky to have it! best wishes,LucyUK - March 2005

Hei (Finnish hello, announce like hay) Christian.We came back home last night and are trying to adjust to our normal (?) life. The apartment was absolutely great, perfect to our needs. We'll recommend it to anyone we know who'll be going to Rio. I'll try to write more about it for you to put on your website.With grateful regards,Finland. January 2005

"Thank you for the wonderful stay in Rio. Apartment was really great! Location was excellent and safe in the middle of everything. Apartment itself was really clean and well equipped. You can do your laundry there as well as prepare food if you want to. Ofcourse there was a plenty of good restaurants just around the corner. Place is perfect for group of 2-4 with nice kitchen&living room to hang around if you cant find anything to do, which I personally doubt:) Once again many thanks! Family Pärssinen from Finland " - January 2005

Dear Christian. Hello. It's Mark who was with Emma and the others over Christmas and New Year. I wanted to write to thank you for letting us use your apartment while we were in Rio. We had a great trip and completely loved Rio, and I am sure this was due in no small part to the fact that we were so happy in the apartment. So clean, well-decorated, convenient etc..... I am sure you have heard it all before but it was the perfect place for us. I am already thinking of spending next Christmas and New Year in Rio..... so will be in touch and hope that one of your apartments is free.... Thanks again, and all the best, Mark (Green) - UK, January 2005

Hi Christian. I am back in South Africa and already missing Rio. We had a wonderful holiday. We were most impressed with the apartment. It is very well equip and is stylishly decorated (my girlfriend wanted to know if you yourself did the decorating?). Mr Luciano was very friendly, and though we struggled to understand each other, he always tried his best to be helpful. We went to Buzios for a weekend. It is different to Rio since it is much quieter. Perfect for a short break. Our accommodation in Buzios was however not up to the standard we had gotten used to in Copacabana. I did manage to see the game between Palmeiras and Fluminense at Maracana. Though the football match itself was a bit disappointing (the rest of the crowd agreed), the experience of being at this great stadium was wonderful (especially for an ardent football fan). I loved Rio for the combination of city life, beach life and all the cultural and natural beauty. I will be recommending the city (and your apartment) to all my friends. I will be glad to write a testimonial for your website. Thank you very much for your assistance and recommendations.Have a merry Christmas and I wish you and your family the best for 2005! Vivian - Southafrica December 2005

Hello Christian - Rio is fantastic, and the apartment is beautiful. Thank you.This is such a great city. We've had adventures, some pick-pocketing, I hang- glided today, and now to Corcovado - but mainly we've been walking the beach, drinking too much, and meeting very sweet people. And again, the apartment is gorgeous, so clean and comfortable. Michael, USA, December 2004

Hello Christian,Everything was fine thankyou. We had a great time in Rio..... and the flat was just what we wanted. No doubt I will be contacted you again to arrange another vistit.Thankyou very much for organising everything so efficiently.Kind Regards,Wayne Cleaver from UK. November 2004

Hi Christian!Everything was superb! It's a very nice apartment!!We haven't really had any time too reflect on, if there is anything to change.But we promise to contact you if we come up with anything!. If you want, you may use us as a reference! Muito obrigado ;-) Lars & Jessica (& Yvonne) - Finland. November 2004.

Estimado Christian, Nos ha gustado mucho el apartamento y lo he recomendado a amigos. Por suerte estoy trabajando aqui en Rio , pero vivo en hotel, pero sin la familia. Es mi intencion que vueva la Familia a Rio y de ser posible, alugare su apartamento. Muchas gracias, Pablo . Argentina. August 2004

ciao Cristian, ti rispondo solo ora perchè uso poco questo indizzo di posta elettronica. E' andato tutto bene ci siamo trovati come a casa nostra e devo dirti che èproprio un'appartamento carino il tuo.Rio ci è piaciuta moltissimo e non ci abbiamo messo molto ad ambientarci. Al ritorno abbiamo avuto un po di saudade, nostalgia, e quindi mi sa che torneremo a visitare qualche altra zona del Brasile.Grazie e buona fortuna. Italy. August 2004

Sorry we have not been in touch earlier. I have just yesterday got back to UK and Teresa is in Brasil for a further 2 weeks. We very much enjoyed our stay in Brasil and especially found your apartment very nicely presented, very clean and tidy and we liked the design which is exactly how we would do it ourselves. Snr Luciano was also most helpful and we gave him a decent tip when we left. As it happened we only stayed there for 4 nights although we paid for 5 nights, because we could not chnage our flights to Brasilia wihout incurring a susbtantial extra cost, but we thought it preferable not to try and renegogiate with you! Especially since you made the kind offer for us to leave our suitcases there while we were away in Ilha Grande.The only disappointing thing was that the weather was poor and old, and we had cloud and rain and had to buy some warm clothes, and no time at all could be spent on the beach. Still we enjoyed discovering the city. I hope you had an enjoyable trip to Egypt.Regards Christopher Miers from UK May 2005

Hello Christian, Thank you for your note! The apartment was great - we were quite happy there. Lissette and I felt comfortable at your place and in Rio. Above all the people of Rio de Janeiro are what makes the city so special... a good place to have an apartment! I did break one of your glasses (slightly curved,plain) - sorry! On the flipside we purchased laundry detergents (two types, both unopened), also left some miscellaneous items (salt, sugar, toilet paper, etc.). Best regards,Marc. from Germany and Argentina.

Hello Chris. Hows things? I am enjoying my stay here in Copacabana especially because of the apartment. It certainly makes things more comfortable. Many thanks.
I am writing as I am thinking of staying longer and was wondering whether the apartment would be available to extend the period after the Tues 29th. If so would I be able to make a new contract with you as before? It would make my decision easier if I knew it will be possible. Looking forward to your reply. Regards, Nathan. UK -
