We arrived at 2200 and were greeted by Renata. She was a very welcoming host. Prior to our arrival she answered any queries we had about the area and activities we wanted to do. This continued during our trip, Renata also messaged us during our stay to make sure all was ok. The apartment is exactly as listed, so no surprises, it was excellent, clean and fully equipped. As this was our first trip to Rio we were unsure about the area, however, Leblon is a great place, with the apartment located in the perfect position with regards to restaurants, bars, shopping and the superb beach which is just a 5 minute walk away. The area has an upmarket feel to it and we always felt safe. Transport is easy, with a taxi rank just over the road, and taxis are super cheap. Overall this was an excellent choice. Thanks Renata.
