We had a great experience at Gilberto’s apartment. I am from Rio so I know the area very well, the location was perfect for us, close to all the great shoppings, supermarkets and the beach. The apartment was extremely clean and Maria, the clean lady does an excellent job! The people at the building also were so nice with us. The area is the best in Rio, in my opinion and you would find many options of restaurant and bars around the apartment , walking steps for everything. We have stayed in many Airbnb’s in Leblon but this one is been one of the best if not the best one and the difference is the communication with Gilberto, he is polite, nice and flexible and made me feel welcomed!!!!
