I am originally from Rio and even though I left to live in the US over thirty years ago, I return often to visit family and friends. I have stayed in several Airbnb’s in Rio, but this was definitely the best one so far. Leblon is one of the most upscale areas in Rio and everything you may need during your stay is within walking distance: 24/7 supermarket, shopping centers, great restaurants, bakeries, gym, bars and the beach a mere two blocks away. The apartment is also very tastefully decorated with great artwork and design furniture. The mattress in the master bedroom is excellent as well. Unlike many other Airbnb’s in Rio, this one had A/C in all of the rooms, including the living room and kitchen. I will definitely look this unit up again and try to book it next time I come to Rio.
