This is an excellent apartment in all aspects. We stayed 4 nights, 2 adults and 3 kids. Supermarket in the same block, a few blocks to Leblon beach and shopping. Calm neighbourhood. The shower is super luxurious even with a little bit of a view. We could see Corcovado from our bedroom window. Stunning! You do hear a little traffic even with closed windows. That didn’t bother us but if silence is important bring earplugs. Eneide was very responsive and takes well care of her guests. We were initially worried about safety in Rio and thankfully we were without incident. Leblon seems safer and having a doorman with a locked gate was comforting, not to mention the military police station across the street. We used Uber everywhere which is incredibly cheap, efficient and safe. Bottom line: if you are going to Rio with kids, this is the apartment for you!
