Plus side: cool little space, few blocks from amazing Leblon beach, lots of great dining options nearby.
Could've been better: cleaning issues upon arrival were dealt with quickly by host; some bathroom (faucet leak) issues which the host indicated would be resolved after we left for the next guest. Gave a small refund, which was appreciated.
Overall: communicative host; good value for the location; interesting little courtyard patio; location across from nice supermarket was a plus.
