The place is absolutely lovely! It's small but definitely perfect for a single person or couple traveling light. Richard, the host provided lots of goodies in the refrigerator and best of yet he has a nespresso machine!!!! It was very nice to wake up to. My key card stopped working but Richard managed to come by with a set of keys within 15min so I can enjoy the rest of my day in Rio. In addition Richard provided great ideas of places to eat and explore.

The location is fabulous, it's close to all the bars and restaurant. Really in Leblon you have two location to stay: by the beach or by all the restaurants and bars.

Just a warning for those light sleepers. You might consider bringing ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. You can hear the neighbors, people coming and going into the building, and early morning of cars (and yes their horns too), so it can be slightly difficult sleeping in.
