Paula and Ronaldo's place in Leblon is exactly how it is described. It is an excellent one bedroom apartment, with plenty of space, light, air, a nice kitchen, washing machine, and everything you can see on the pictures. If the entire airbnb universe forgive me the cliche, it is truly, a "home away from home".
The location is perfect, two blocks away from the beach, and surrounded by all the good (although expensive even for a Londoner) restaurants in Leblon. This has always been my neighbourhood in Rio, but even if it is your first time, you will find that it is by far the best place to stay in the city.

By the way, the Zona Sul supermarket just downstairs has a good breakfast buffet, and it is cheap. Two can have loads of fruits, coffee and croissant for about £10.

The location is also really well known, so even the lost and confused Uber drivers will find them with their Waze.

As hosts, Paula and Ronaldo are ideal: if you need them, they are ready and available. If you don't, well, then they leave you alone. They were very responsive, and kind, even allowing me to stay for the whole of my last day, rather than rushing me to checkout at 12.

I cannot recommend this place enough.
