Beautiful, comfortable and well-decorated apartment. You can walk to the lagoon and the beach in a few minutes. It’s in the best location to explore Leblon, Ipanema and Copacabana. Host is very helpful with anything you might need. The kitchen is small—not a lot of prep space if you plan on cooking from home. You do have lots of restaurant and cafe options all around you. Unfortunately, there was construction going on in the roof for the whole length of our stay which was quite disruptive. Other than that, it’s a lovely apartment in a safe area with lots to do around you.
