Great location for a short stay. Less so if staying longer and using this as a temporary family residency. If you do not plan spending a lot of time inside the apartment other than sleep, shower and breakfast, then the size, location, facilities, and terrace with part sea view of this apartment make for a very good choice. This will be the case for most users that come to Leblon to enjoy the neighborhood and the rest of Rio. If on the other hand, like us staying 2 months, you stay longer and also need to spend day-time in the apartment, you find that the apartment is very limited for that. The living room has no TV, no aircon and no comfortable seating with only a dining table with 4 chairs, a sofa bed (more bed than sofa)and one beany bag. The outside terrace also lacks comfortable seating for longer stays. The total building is not well maintained, but the apartment is in much better shape than the rest. All in all we were a bit disappointment for our 2 months stay, but I can imagine being perfectly happy here if staying a week or so.
