My husband and I loved our stay in Richard's beautiful loft located in the best part of Leblon. The loft was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Upon arrival we were thrilled to find beer, juice, coffee and tea, and snacks for us as a welcome treat. We used the kitchen to cook several meals, it was well equipped with all the pots and pans to make food comfortably. The internet was fast and there was a nice large tv which we didn't watch, but was nice to have. The bathroom was very modern with a great shower. Richard quickly responded to all of our messages and was in touch to answer all our questions. The building is very secure with a guard 24-hours, and we were able to leave our bags as we needed to check out in the morning, and our flight didn't leave until that evening. The neighborhood is amazing, a ten-minute walk to the beach, and close to many bars and restaurants, and a few supermarkets. Highly recommended!
