Diogo'd spacious apartment in the Leblon area served the needs of me and my friends well. Leblon is a fantastic neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. This apartment was 2 blocks from the main shopping street and 4 blocks from the Leblon/Ipanema beach.
Although the place is not contemporary, it was very spacious. You could fit up to 11 people without much trouble. All the machines, faucets, filters, etc. worked fine. I would highly recommend groups of 5 or larger to consider this place.
More importantly, Diogo and his friends, Yan and Marco were very responsive, accommodating and helpful. They provided us with a lot of info about Rio and their response time was impressive. After check out they accommodated us and kept our bags until our flight in the evening. All the transactions were smooth.
Overall, good host, spacious apartment, great neighborhood.
