The five of us (a couple and three guys) had a great 5-night stay at Leila's apartment. Leila's mom was there to greet us in the evening, show us around the flat and tell us about the neighborhood - there are tons of bars, restaurants and supermarkets a few minutes' walk away. Leila had very kindly bought us some supplies including breakfast items and lovely croissants and bread from Guerin - great local bakery! Everything in the flat functioned well - AC in every room, TV for watching World Cup matches when we needed a break from the beach & bars, enough utensils, pots & pans for cooking & eating, and a washing machine for a couple of quick washes. We felt very safe with the doorman downstairs and had no problem flagging taxis on the road outside. The best part - we were a five minute walk to Copacabana beach. We would not hesitate to recommend Leila or her flat to other visitors. Muito obrigada Leila! x
