The apartment was absolutely amazing. Stunning views and a very unique experience. Jeanne was so lovely - she made us feel very welcome and gave us a brilliant map to use around the city. The apartments is up a lot of stairs and definitely kept us fit throughout our 6 days in Rio.
The only thing I can say about the location - for the first 3 days it was miserable weather in Rio (unfortunately). When it was raining - the apartment seemed so far away from Leblon or any kind of shop or restaurant. We got in in the evenings and ended up staying in and cooking at the apartment as it was too far to walk when it was raining. BUT we then had some lovely days which we did venture out in the evening- so all depend on the weather and if you are lazy like us ;)
I would highly recommended this place for a lovely relaxing time in Rio - fingers crossed you get better weather than we did.
