Nice neighborhood. Pick this if you want location and views. The place itself doesn't have a ton of character, but it does the job. Beautiful views of Christ the Redeemer. Bed is pretty small for two. Comes with laundry - washer and dryer. Nicolas was easy to communicate with.
It's basically a hotel so there is a checkin desk. The pool was closed when we were there - there is a notice in the elevator dated December 25 saying that it was closed indefinitely due to glass. Gym is nothing to write home about.
It was the only of our four Airbnbs in Brazil that didn't come with a built in water filter, you have to buy water and bring it to the apartment. Just so you are aware.
We liked being able to so easily leave the house and find food, cafes, etc. Leblon is great!
