Nice and clean apartment. Great location. Close to some nice bars and not far from the beach. Walking distance to PUC. The entrance to the building (with doorman) is on a small street, the balcony faces a bigger street (across the street is a police station - a plus for safety, even though Leblon and the area of apartment in particular is very friendly and safe)
the apartment is a studio - only one big room but didn't feel too cramped. The bed is comfortable, the sofa is actually a second bed - could use some more cushions but was ok. The water heater is a bit annoying (makes a lot of noise if you don't turn it off over night), and the glass door in the bathroom it not optimal, even for a couple it can be a bit strange, as the door is right next to the bed (no privacy!) But overall it was a great experience and Leila's team is nice and very helpful!
