Excellent location! Walking distance to Leblon beach and to Rua Ataulfo where you can do shopping. Nice playground for young kids and the pool was nice despite not being able to use it 9-5 pm Mon-Fri bc of work being done on the building. Make sure you ask host if the construction is done or not. No beach towels supplied so bring your own. Also, the porteiro prefers you use the back entrance going in and out of the building if you are in beachwear or coming back in from the beach. Enjoy Leblon!
