I had a truly wonderful experience while staying in Meg & Joao's apartment in Leblon. My two week adventure to Rio taught me so much, and I couldn't have learned and experienced half of it without the help and support of Meg & Joao. Their apartment is truly lovely, and lives up to the pictures in every way. It's situated only steps away from wonderful dining options, transportation, grocery stores and the beach. Even better than the facilities themselves, I loved getting to know my hosts. They shared their favorite sites and restaurants as well as providing important information about navigating Rio alone. While Rio isn't for beginners, this neighborhood proved the perfect setting for a female traveling alone. I felt safe eating out and shopping before heading back to the apartment. I would absolutely recommend this apartment to anyone hoping to experience Rio for pleasure, business or any other reason!
