Rio is amazing and Leblon is the best neighborhood by far. And this is in the beat location in Leblon. I want to live here forever. Desi was an amazing host and super helpful and timely and even went above and beyond for us. The apartment itself needs a bit more work before it feels complete in my opinion. We stayed for a month so maybe that’s why we felt we wanted a bit more. Hot water in the kitchen or a dishwasher, some electrical work, the bathroom door for the main bedroom is a closet door and doesn’t close all the way from inside, better shower heads. Comfier beds. Little touches that would make it the perfect stay.
