This place has an ideal location. Leblon neighborhood is a more affluent and mature area full of wonderful and walkable restaurants, shopping, super market and beautiful beaches. Also near public transportation with access to cabs. We enjoyed our location. But the unit, itself, is more on the basic side, versus the stated “luxury.” The amenities are minimal and simple. The beds and futons were sub par/uncomfortable. There are twin beds in a tiny room not suitable for most adults to sleep on. Four flights of stairs with no elevator was a tad tough with our heavy luggage, but the building and block felt safe and reliable. The hosts were nice and attentive. Overall a good experience, provided you understand it won’t be a luxurious one.
