This house is located across from a lovely park that has a subway station as well as some vendors. This park made it very easy to find the house! The photos do not do justice to the character of the apartment. The rooms are large, well spaced, and much attention to detail has been paid. We loved seeing how much effort was made to keep the original character of the house - not a modern "cookie cutter" at all! The bathrooms appear to be fully updated, while the rest of the house has kitchen tiles and arched doorways. Parking was easy enough - we were able to turn the car around so we could easily pull out. Safety in the building is excellent! The garage has the outside door but there is also an interior door which requires a key. Location to restaurants in Leblon and beach were only a few blocks. Highly recommend!
