We loved staying here! The apartment is so unique and really nicely done up. The open wall really makes you feel like you are right in the heart of Rio. The balcony has a great view over the city and isn't overlooked so feels safe. We especially loved his record player and great selection of records. The apartment is really close to the heart of Leblon and Santa Theresa so be prepared for some steep hills to walk. Also, due to the location some taxi drivers seemed to struggle to find it. Ricardo lives in the same building and was very helpful with a late check in and arranged a taxi for us on check out. Overall it was an amazing place and we would definitely recommend it.
