We liked this place. The place itself is a basic 1950s style Rio apartment—wood floors, high ceilings, etc. It’s comfortable with lots of places to sit and lounge including a hammock. The fixtures are basic but fine. The location is fantastic—you’re right in the middle of the best bar/restaurant part of Leblon. Probably the safest part of the safest neighborhood in Rio.
The bars might be a little noisy for the highly sensitive but we had the windows open most of the time and it was fine. I enjoyed staying here as much as I did at a hotel that was twice the cost.
