Thomas' apartment was great. Excellent location just by Leblon Beach, just by the best restaurant street in Rio, Metro, and everything else you may need. Apartment was located on 8th floor, quiet and nice, and had a nice view. Nice interior, and well furnished/equipped. I have stayed in many apartment hotels in Rio through work earlier, but this is by far the nicest have stayed in. There were cold beers in the fridge when we arrived, and we even had a (very) late checkout which enabled us to enjoy and get the most out of our last day before evening departure. Apartment highly recommended.
