This is my second time in Rio and staying at Rafael’s place. I had such a great experience the first time so of course I was thrilled to come back. I was here for one month working remotely and Rafael was kind enough to upgrade his internet connection before my arrival to ensure I had the fastest internet. The WiFi was a crystal clear connection & I was fully able to work from the flat with no interruptions. Air conditioning throughout the entire apartment works perfect and the best water pressure on the shower. Kitchen fully stocked for your cooking needs but with all the great restaurants in walking distance I don’t know why you would ever want to cook :) The location of the apartment is perfectly located 2 blocks from the beach and in the best part of Leblon in walking distance to everything you need. The front desk staff is lovely and they just opened a cafe inside the building which has yummy coffee and breakfast. You get daily housekeeping service too which is a huge bonus ! The best amenity is the rooftop pool with sweeping views of Leblon beach, Christo, Lagoa, and the Morro Dois Armois. Truly a magical spot to watch the sunset as well. I will return to Rio over and over again and will look for no other Airbnb to stay than Rafaels!
