Fantastic location and of curse the best view of all. The view itself is worth the booking.
Ricardo's place if a bit of beaten path, just outside of Leblon but it is easy to get to and a walking distance to Leblon and Ipanema beaches and dining scene. We loved the fact that we were not in the middle of the tourist areas like Copacabana.
We pretty much used exclusively Uber to move around the city and never had an issue getting it at the location.
The place might be noisy at times because of the busy road in front of it but this did not ruin our stay.
