The place is awesome! Jake's friend Laura was amazing and so helpful - she greeted me and showed me around town - a superstar! Everyone one in the building is really nice and you also have time for yourself. The view from the room and deck is beautiful - the pics don't lie :-) Yes, there are some stairs but that's for the view and it's very easy to get around - less than 10 min walk to the heart of Leblon or a couple min by taxi, van or bus. I loved this place and would love to come back. Thanks, Jake and Laura.
