Claudio is very helpful host. He speaks fluent English and stays nearby, so he assist your needs immediately. I stayed there about 50 nights and had pleasant stay.
Pro
-Location is perfect! 1 min walk to Zona Sul, few mins walking to Shopping Leblon and Leblon Design.
-Same block as 24 hr open McDonald, feel safer even get back to apartment in wee hour.
-2 blocks away from beach.
-Safer area in Rio.
-Few mins to walk to Metro station.
-Apartment is 2nd floor, but very bright and have big terrace.
-Very attentive, nice host!
Con
-Wifi signal in bedroom is very weak and unusable.
-There is big empty wall space in bathroom. In the cold day, I felt cold to take shower and that space gets mosquito inside to the apartment. I think it should be filled with window.
-You can clearly hear neighbours.
-No washing machine, but Claudio helped me to use his washing machine once a week.
