If you're planning visiting Rio, you must consider Gisella's place, it's located in the heart of Leblon, 1/2 block to the beach, 2 block to major street and subway, surrounded by tons of great restaurants and shops, it's nice, clean, and convenient, not to mention Gisella is very attentive, wrote me email every few days to make sure we have everything we needed, or if we need any assistance, she's truly wonderful.
