Antonia’s place is in a great location in Leblon near the nicest restaurants, beach and patisseries. The people at the reception are mostly very nice, helpful and friendly, with the odd exception. The flat is noisy because it is next to Dias Ferreira with a Rich night life. If you don’t want the noise you can close the sliding doors to the terrace and turn the air conditioning on. The flat is basic but perfect for 2 to 3 people. The swimming pool area is great. The pool is shallow and the views are outstanding. The sauna and shower area are quite run down but they will be refurbished soon, which includes the gym which does need some TLC. I really enjoyed spending time at the swimming pool area especially when the beach was full on weekends. I recommend Antonia’s place and hope to go back one day in the near future.
