The best quality of this apartment was the view. If you are looking for an oceanfront scene, this place is perfect! The photos are exactly as expected; the private balcony is up the red stairs and has a great view. The kitchen was small; don't expect to cook food, but it was alright because you can walk to Leblon and ipanema from here to get food. This place had some stairs to climb also. Overall Jeanne the host was a great host, I recommend this place to any party of 2 or less.
