Juliana was a wonderful host. She met me at the flat and let me stay a few extra hours on my check-out day. She also checked during my week stay that everything was ok. The flat is in a great location at the border of Leblon/Ipanema, with the metro station outside. The bedrooms are big, and there was more than enough space. The flat is on the main road, if you are extra sensitive to noise, but there is glazing to minimise the noise. The block also has a porter during the week. I would definitely recommend this place, if you're planning on staying in Rio Sul. Leblon and Ipanema both have lovely beaches and lots of bars and cafes. They're also fine for walking around late night.
