The apartment is exactly as shown in the pictures, clean, good security, great internet and has everything you need for a short/medium stay. The location is superb, surrounded by many top bars and restaurants and very safe. The beach is only a 5-10 minute walk away and is much quieter than those around Ipanema/Copacabana. Public transport could be closer for some, but we used Uber to get around so that wasn't a negative factor for us. Note that the apartment is on the far end of Leblon and is some distance to other areas of Rio, however again, if you have the budget and will be taking Ubers, this won't be hugely noticeable, even with Rio traffic. Taking exclusively Uber Blacks, our total for 10 days came to less than 700BRL for multiple daily rides.
Leo and Archanjo were available on Whats App if we needed anything and communication was not an issue for a native English speaker such as myself. I would definitely stay here again.
