The apartment shown in the photos isn't apartment 5, and it only has a partial ocean view. The location is next to the flavela and not Leblon. The microwave didn't work, the igniter on the stove is broke, the dishes and pans weren't very clean and were too scratched up to cook with. The water heater is problematic and the shower was dirty when I arrived. The shower door knob falls off when you pull it. The bed linens smelled a little musty and there is a door right next to the bed that goes to the living area in the next apartment. You can here EVERYTHING that the neighbors say and do all hours of the day. It's hard to get an Uber because of proximity to the flavela, so instead I took an unlit staircase down to the Sheraton everytime I needed a ride, and I'm not sure how safe this was at night. Also you do not have access to use the Sheraton facilities as is implied in this listing. They have security and will stop you if you try. The public beach, however, is accessable and is beautiful, as is the 20 minute walk into Leblon. The hosts were very nice and responsive although they couldn't do much about the neighbors being loud and partying.
