My second stay at this apartment (20 days) . I like the location very much in Leblon, it has a local feel to it, with great bars, restaurants, supermarkets and shops. Easy to get around. The apartment itself is a cute 1 bedroom apartment on the top floor (walk up which keeps you fit!) with a huge open air back terrace which is great to have your breakfast or dinner. The apartment is quiet, clean, bedroom and bathroom compact but has all the amenties, kitchen with fridge and cooking facilities, washing machine (which saves a great expense as laundry costs are not cheap) internet fast and Gilson is a charming host
