Excellent location in Leblon, just a few meters far from Ataulfo de Paiva Av (where one may find restaurants, bars, bus stops), Rio Lisboa bakery (good place for a nice and cheap breakfast) and Zona Sul supermarket. Also, the beach is 2, 3 blocks away and the subway station is within a 10 minute walk.
Besides, the apartment is clean and comfortable; everything works perfectly fine (fridge, hot shower, oven) and Daniela provided us with tips and instructions to have a good time at Rio.
