(I was here for two weeks in February 2022)
Great location. It’s right next to a well known shopping mall in Leblon so you have access to a lot of things just around the corner (plus it’s easy to tell the taxi driver where you want to go). The building has nice security and front desk people but the elevator is rickety and the hallway lights on the floor are always off when the door opens because they are motion-sensitive (it was creepy the first night I went up). The apartment is incredible relative to what I saw available in Rio at this time. It does have an amazing view of Christ the Redeemer and is also clean and well-furnished. The internet was solid, it never dropped out for a second. A maid comes everyday around noon who was also very nice and helped keep the apartment looking good for the whole two weeks I was there. The place has two air conditioners; one in the bedroom and one in the living room. The living room one was not working during my stay, which the host did disclose in the listing. There were some days I was sweating a lot in the apartment (I was working remotely from the kitchen table). I almost took off a star for that but everything else that was in the host’s control was perfect, so I couldn’t do it. Speaking of the host, they were very professional, quick and proactive over Airbnb messages. Overall, it was a great stay.
