This apartment is excellently located in Leblon and Franklin is friendly, helpful and communicative - always very quick and friendly in his replies. The room is basic, fairly small, no windows and a mattress on the floor, but for the price and in this area I thought that fair. However the apartment was not at all clean and I felt uncomfortable with that. I was assured that the bedlinen was fresh and clean - but the fact that I had to ask is indicative. The bathroom and kitchen were positively dirty. Franklin assured me they would clean in future, so hopefully it will be better another time - I'd suggest checking though!
