I stayed at Celso’s apartment for four weeks in early 2020, while working at the Pontifical Catholic University. I highly recommend this place. The best thing about it is without a doubt its location. The apartment is situated in Leblon, which is probably the safest and nicest part of Rio, right at one of the liveliest streets with numerous bars, cafes and restaurants. Both the beach (less than five minutes) and the Pontifical Catholic University (around twenty minutes) are within walking distance. The Hortifruti super market right across the street provides all the groceries that one might possibly need. Leblon Shopping (a big mall) is just a ten minute walk away. In addition to the location, the apartment itself is nice too. It is spacious and clean, with a fully equipped kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom, an extra toilet and a large living area with two sofas, a TV and a desk. Both the living area and the bedroom have ACs. Except some occasional music and voices from the street – which can only be heard in the living area – the building is exceptionally quiet. Communication with Celso was extremely friendly and smooth. To reemphasize, I highly recommend this apartment, and especially to foreign visitors who will appreciate the safety and convenience that is provided.
