We had a great week in the appartment with our two (small) kids. The appartment is as described, with a magnificent view on Leblon/Ipanema, the sea and even the Laguna. The spot feels very safe (doorman taking care) and its in the middle of numerous restaurants and shopping centers - all in walking distance. We did not meet Nilza in person, but she took care of all our needs promptly, so we had a wonderful holiday. I can only recommend the place.
