Our stay at casablanca was outstanding. The house is very conveniently located near Leblon. The interior is very unique fun and perfect for a couple on an extended trip. The dishes supplied we're perfect for cooking a few meals in as well as enjoying breakfast at home daily prior to heading out. Jeanne is a great host and assisted us in getting our laundry cleaned as well as a ride to our next stop. The house is located on a hill where it requires a fair amount of uphill walking. I would not recommend this for an extremely out of shape person, but it worked fine for us average joes. Excellent experience, would not hesitate to stay again! Also the view is great, and take a motortaxi ride up vidigal then hike to the dois irmaos, best views in Rio!
