We stayed at Oswaldo’s apartment during our short stay in Rio (couple with two children). We apartment is very well located, just 50 meter away from the Leblon beach and nearby streets with commerce, bars and restaurants. The apartment worked well for us as it has a living room, kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms. The apartment is on the first floor of an old building and the access is through stairs (no elevator). Taking into consideration the old age of the building, the level of comfort of the apartment is acceptable. Mr Oswaldo was an excellent host, meeting us when we arrived. Overall, given location, it was good value for money.
