We had a fabulous time in Rio for the World Cup! Communications with Natalia prior to our arrival were great, and once at the apartment Paolo greeted us and showed us the apartment. The apartment is nicely located in the Leblon hills, nice and quiet neighborhood, safe to walk around at any time of the day/night. Walking distance to Leblon beach and to plenty of restaurants/markets. The apartment itself is on the 6th floor, with nice view to the beach, and to Corcovado on the left side. Ample balcony, main bedroom very spacious, the other 2 bedrooms smaller but comfortable enough. Each one with a bathroom. Building is very safe, with 24 hour security. Definitively would recommend this apt!
