Lino's flat is extremely well located --- 1 1/2 blocks from Leblon beach and surrounded by bakeries and restaurants. It is only a five minute walk to the underground and there is a taxi stand just around the corner.
Lino is flexible with check-in and check-out times and, if you wish, I am sure you can arrange with Lino's housekeeper to do some light cleaning or take care of your shopping list.
