AptLeblon, Rua General Urquiza 67 was a perfect place for our visit to Rio. First of all, it fit four of us very comfortably. The unit is very well laid out, very clean and more than sufficient from a size standpoint. The neighborhood is one of the great features of this property. While other (more commercial) beaches have issues with regard to noise and crowds, this location in Leblon is comparatively quieter and felt much safer for us. The beach is one block away. Good shopping, markets and restaurants are within a 5 block radius. Easy-to-access, easy-to-use public transportation is nearby as well. Rio can be a very frenetic place, particularly during major events such as the World Cup, Carnival, etc. Vania & Juliana provide a safe, modern, clean oasis nearby to all the fiestas, but just a little way away, so as to be quiet, private and safe. We will recommend this property to other friends who may wish to visit Rio.
