I don't think we could have stayed at a more ideal location. The view of Rio's Christ the Redeemer and of the city were stunning, and the apartment was well decorated with lush houseplants. The property was a bit small but ideal for 2 people. Walking through our host's apartment to get to our Airbnb was no problem as our host was not there much of the time, just briefly to collect our trash and exchange our towels, so we never felt that we got in each other's way, and our host Marcia was extremely hospitable. It was also a good value and the location in Leblon was ideal in being centrally located but away from more touristy-areas. The one downside was a complaint we received about our noise from neighbors although we were watching TV at a normal volume - likely due to us having a houseguest over - it felt like neighbors were closely watching and hypervigilant. Overall highly recommended!
