It would be hard to overstate just how fantastic Luiza was as a host throughout my long stay at the apartment. The term "Superhost" does not do her justice and sadly Airbnb only allows up to 5 stars in reviews when she so clearly deserves more.
The apartment itself is in an outstanding location in Leblon, on the same street as Shopping Leblon and just two blocks from Posto 11. It is remarkably large (much bigger than the photos suggest even) and is very nicely and comfortably decorated. In particular, for anyone looking for a longer stay, this is a very good option for those looking for comfort and a home away from home while in Rio de Janeiro.
Highly, highly recommended!
