This is a great place! It looks intimidating when you look at the map, but it's very close to Leblon beach. You can walk there in less than twenty minutes. We used Mauro from the airport and it worked very well, someone was waiting for us with our name at the airport. On the way back we took an uber and had no problems. The busses are also convenient and easy to use. The views are amazing. The only sound at night is the ocean. Highly recommend!
