Super prompt response from Silvia. We needed somewhere same day, sent a message to Silva at 9am, at 9.01 she replied. We met at midday at the apartment and got the keys!
Super location - view over rua Dias Ferreira (Leblon's restaurant street) and up to the 2 irmaos. Bright and sunny, cafe in the supermarket across the road is a good option for breakfast buffet.
Ceiling fans and aircon in the living room keep the flat cool (aircon in the bedroom is a bit noisy, but not needed - and we were there when it was 40 degrees outside!
Water pressure in the shower is a bit low, but didn't spoil our enjoyment of the flat and the area.
Can't fault the location, and parking the car was easy in the neighbourhood.
Many thanks Silvia for your quick response and sorting us out at short notice!
