This was our second stay at this apartment. The building is in a beautiful location,only a half a block from Leblon beach, on a quiet and tranquil street with a very attentive 24 hr doorman. Also very close to grocery stores and excellent restaurants. The apartment itself is large and comfortable and very nicely furnished; comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, fluffy towels, air conditioners and 3 television sets. During this stay there was a problem with the washing machine, the water pump and hot water system so we unfortunately had only cold water showers during our stay. But because it was Easter weekend, it simply wasn't possible to repair the problem but through no fault or lack of effort by the owner or her assistant. They both tried to correct the problem during our visit and when they realized they could not, we were offered either another accommodation or compensation. Honestly, because the apartment is so comfortable, we decided to stay. We definitely will return again!
