I can write a letter here but I would just like to mention key points for travelers:
1. Extremely safe place. in front of Leblon Shopping Mall with lots of security.
2. Very clean and spacious condominium
3. Two blocks from the beach, two blocks from the Lagoon
4. Restaurants, bars, and fast food all around, on any direction.
5. Very familiar style both, the area and the condominium.
6. Uber is you best option if traveling in groups > 3 people
7. Subway around the corner (Jardim de Alah)
8. Taxi from the airport (~R$ 120,00 / 5 people) Uber R$50 but we needed to take 2.
9. Almost all the attractions are within 25 minutes (Sugarloaf, Cristo, Maracana, Aquarium, etc,)
10. Refrigerator is new and spacious, toilets working perfectly, showers with nice pressure and hot water. WiFi available. AC units and ceiling fans on every room.
Although this location maybe look distant from the points of interest is not. The beach is within walking distance. Ipanema and Copacabana are very close.
Jose was very helpful and responsive even months before the trip and while in Rio.
I definitively would go back to Jose's place.
