Amazing stay in Rio for carnivale 2016. The apartment is very spacious, we were 6 people, 2 people in each bedroom and plenty of communal space in the living room and kitchen to enjoy meals and drinks together. The location is perfect, 2 minutes to Copacabana beach, many restaurants and bars within walking distance and easy to reach ipenema and lapa by metro or train. Leandro was a perfect host, super helpful, arranged us extra set of keys and have lots of great tourist tips throughout the stay. He even left us a cake and filled the fridge with beer for our arrival. The apartment itself is quite simplistic, there isn't much character or any pictures on the walls or anything, you can tell it's not really lived in but this was no issue for us and we felt very safe and secure during the stay. I would recommend this apartment and Leandro as a host for any small - medium groups of friends looking to enjoy the amazing city of Rio.
