This apartment offers a convenient place to stay in Leblon for a short period of time. I grew up in Leblon and prefer this area of Rio above all others, although it is probably the most expensive of those in Zona Sul. The apartment is high up and has a good view of the beach and the statue of Christ, the Redeemer. The kitchen is well stocked for basic needs and the bedroom has good closet space. Both air conditioners work well and the shower is nice and strong. There is a small clothes washer that I didn't use but would be convenient for small items, if needed. There is a cleaning service daily but it doesn't include change in towels or sheets. Those need to be managed separately. All in all, what I expected. I would return if the apartment is available next time.
