The Penthouse was amazing. It was huge, much bigger than I expected. The retro look was priceless, a step back in time. A very modern kitchen, large living area, huge bedroom and an adorable garden! Every morning I had breakfast in the garden, but I was not alone. There was a yellow bird, that literally sang for me of and on for over 30 minutes, so beautiful.
It's 1 block and an half from the most beautiful part of Ipanema Beach. Shops and restaurants are everywhere. It's in Leblon, the Hollywood of Brazil. Looking for the beautiful people? Just dine in an outdoor cafe and watch them walk by! I've stayed in many Airbnb's around the world, this was by far, my best value yet!
Roberto is the best host ever. He knows where to go and what to do. Looking for a real adventure? He wrote the book! Ask him, he'll probably join you. He's a world famous playwright who has also written many historical books, plays and videos about Brazil. So, you couldn't ask for a better guide!
