Roberto's place was very nice - great location in the heart of Leblon (one of the best neighborhoods in Rio), 2 blocks from the beach, endless dining options only minutes from the flat (try Dias Ferreira street).

Flat is your typical late 50's / early 60's buildings in Rio - absolutely enormous, not really modern but that does lend to the charm of it. It can easily accommodate a party of 5 (if sharing the bedroom). Flat was filled with light, balcony with garden was just stunning and it really felt like a secluded beach house, with the bonus of easy access to all the conveniences of Leblon. All the essentials were catered for - fridge, cooker, shower very warm and with plenty of water (not that common in older buildings in Rio), good bed (although mattress was a bit to hard for my taste).

Key collection was smooth and Roberto was very friendly and helpful, yet gave me enough privacy to enjoy the apartment.

All in all, highly recommended for those looking for a flat with a unique decor and feel right in the heart of Leblon.
