This Airbnb was amazing. We had a view of the ocean and also the mountains of Rio from the patio, which was awesome! It is a really nice Airbnb with air conditioning and a large kitchen. The internet was fast, and there was a water filter as well. The kitchen had all the kitchenware we needed and amenities. The apartment was very safe and in a secure neighborhood called "Novo Leblon." It was extremely well located in Barra da Tijuca. Two blocks away walking, you have three different shopping malls. You have a simple, nice, and extremely nice shopping mall all next to each other. There are tons of food options and pharmacies in the shopping malls. You can also walk to the boat and take that to the beach coast, which is fantastic! The host was extremely responsive and attentive to any questions we had. We will def go back here when we stay in Barra. This place comes highly recommended.
