The room at this appartment is just all you need for a very nice stay in Rio. It's a very safe area only 5-10 min to the beach and after finishing the constructions works (propably 2017) only a few meters from the metro station away. Leblon is one of the richest areas in Rio. There you can find lots of great restaurants and bars. The appartment itself is just spacious. You have a living room you could play football in it, one bathroom, an extra toilet and a well equipped kitchen. When you look out of the window (7th level) you can also see the Dois Hermanos (which I definitely recommend to climb up from the favela Vidigal). The communication with Marcos was very good - no questions left even he has got lots of things to do. So to conclude, we definitely would recommend this room even it is quite a distance to Ipanema (5km), the Corcovado or the Sugar Loaf. But we always felt very comfortable and safe at all time - so thank you Marcos for making our last days in Brazil just pleasant!
