A spacious oasis in the heart of the city.
Roberto's penthouse apartment greets you with its openness as you first walk in. Natural illumination flows in from above and the sides, and natural ventilation is readily accessible from opening the large sliding doors and windows.
Each space is more open and airy than the previous, giving it the feel of a comfortable home rather than just another apartment. The rooms open out into a large, partially covered deck, with privacy guaranteed by profusion of large potted plants, as well as by the canopy of the mature street trees, which form the green background for the entire experience.
The decorations of the space itself are somewhat spare, adding to the feeling of openness. Throughout, there are mementos of Robert's life as an international playwright, with theatrical lighting and decorations to add interest and drama, especially at night.
And the location can't be matched. Located at the center of the Baixo Leblon district, some of Rio de Janeiro's best bars and restaurants are only a block or two away. Whether you want Thai or Portuguese, Italian or Japanese, it's all within easy reach.
And just two blocks away, there's the beach, facing out into the South Atlantic.
Robert himself is accessible and helpful. I could not recommend this apartment more highly.
