We stayed at Bruno's flat for 10 days and we had a good experience. The flat is situated in Leblon, arguably best Rio's area, minutes away from excellent restaurants, bars, bakeries and a large supermarket. I was taken aback how quiet it was in the apartment, although it is situated on a busy street. The flat itself is basic and old fashioned but functional. There is a swimming pool and kids area downstairs which we have used a lot. It was godsend on a hot day and virtually no one was using the facilities so we had it for ourselves. The hotel staff were super friendly and polite. We had minor issues with the water supply on couple of occasions but nothing major. One thing though which disapointed us was that we were under impression that there is a washing machine in the flat but upon arrival it turned out that there is a PAID laundry service at the hotel. Which is not the same thing. Having said that we felt that the host Bruno was a great host, his response was immediate and he was very efficient with solving the problems. Thank you Bruno!
