We had been travelling for 9 months by the time we made it to Denise's apartment in Leblon. We have stayed in many lovely AirBnB's but this one by far felt the most like "home". The space has a lovely flow, good lighting and has everything you need to actually "live" there. The kitchen is well appointed, the mattresses, pillows and couch are all comfy. It is a quiet neighborhood but has so many stores and restaurants within a five-ten minute walk. Denise is super helpful with recommendations of things to do and places to eat. We had a minor Internet issue while there and she had someone in to fix it same day. We areived at 3 a.m. and were soooo happy to find bottled water and some snacks waiting for us. This was our first experience with a Superhost and it has changed the way we will AirBnb. Thos experience reminded me of the way AirBnB was when it first started: owners who wanted guests to feel special and to appreciate their place and its surroundings.
