Leblon is one of the safest neighborhoods in Rio and the apartment is only 2 blocks away from the beach. The view is stunning from its 25th floor, exactly as described. The building is next door to a smaller mall and Leblon mall, one of the best in Rio.
The place is very clean, comfortable and minimalist but classy. The showers are amazing and the beds are super comfy. There’s a Nespresso machine but no pods available, so you will need to buy some basic groceries including paper towels and laundry detergent if you’re planning to wash your clothes (we left ours at the apt for the next guest) :)
The sunset is beautiful since the windows (floor to ceiling) from both bedrooms and the living room, are facing the “morro dos dois irmãos” (two brothers mountain)… just stunning.
There’s a taxi stand right around the corner of you need (look for Fernando, super friendly and honest).
We will definitely come back!
