The apartment is in a safe area and very well located, very close to the subway station, nice restaurants and the Leblon beach. It can comfortably accommodate up to two couples or a family of four, in two separate bedrooms. There is an extra guest bathroom that comes in handy. The communication with the host was easy, she responded very quickly every time we reached out to her. As a con, the flat has no view, the windows point to the rear of another building, but that may be common for Rio de Janeiro. Also the air conditioning in the rooms is very loud. Despite the fact that the flat could benefit from a little bit of renovation, it remains a good value for money and a good stay, with a nice touch of decoration.
