One of my favourite airbnbs I’ve ever stayed in. Arabela was a lovely host, the apartment has a lovely ambience and I felt very comfortable and happy there. There were lots of little details that elevated it to an exceptional level for me (e.g brilliant powerful shower and nicely designed bathroom with easy to reach towels or the lamps which created a very warm feeling in the apartment)
The location was perfect. Overlooking the little square in Leblon where you’d see people enjoying themselves in the bar across the road most nights. I never found it too noisy to get to sleep (and I had to be up at 6am for work), though I must admit a low level of noise doesn’t bother me, especially if it’s nice music. It’s a very quick walk to the beach, loads of amenities, bars/restaurants nearby.
Also I felt very safe in the neighbourhood and I walked around a lot at day and night, never had any issues.
Highly recommended.
