The apartment is very well located in the safe and pleasant neighborhood of Leblon, within two blocks from the beach, in an area with plenty of restaurants, and close to the shops . The apartment is tastefully decorated, welcoming, has a lot of light and excellent amenities ( bathroom, very good airco, kitchen with washing machine). It is spotlessly clean and well maintained. Being located on a higher floor , it has a splendid view over the city and is quiet . The host is welcoming and responsive . The purpose of my stay was to study , and so I enjoyed coming " home" to a comfortable place and being able to do my work. Definitely a place I would like to come back to .
