This apartment was absolutely beautiful! My best friend and I stayed in Leblon (our first time visiting Brazil) for 6 nights and we LOVED it. The apartment itself is small, but perfect for 2 or 3 people and newly renovated, so everything is clean and gorgeous. Our favorite part was the fold out couch so two people could watch movies and TV, and the patio! It's on the top floor of an elevator building with doormen, so you feel incredibly safe while still being able to have a spectacular view and be 5 minutes from your toes in the ocean. Silvia was such a gracious host. We met both her and her husband when we checked in the first day and they gave us a list of places we should visit in the neighborhood.
