This apartment is in the best part of Rio. It is in the quaint, quiet, and safe Leblon neighborhood, away from the crowds in Ipanema and Copacabana: however, with Leblon beach just steps away, I still had access to the ocean and all the amenities and experiences it offered. Also with groceries, cafes, and bars within walking distance, I felt like I was home. I feel that I got more than I had hoped for, for the price.
Anna and Andrea are excellent hosts. They are very attentive, responsive, and cared about my comfort. I appreciated their flexibility in allowing me to check-in early. The apartment was spotless, comfortable, and welcoming even with the last minute early check-in.
Staying in the apartment, definitely factored into my amazing first visit to Rio! I look forward to my next visit and hope to stay here again.
