We loved Beatriz's apartment! It was just as shown in the pictures if not better. The apartment is nicely decorated, uncluttered, and had all the amenities we wanted and needed: a nice filtered water machine, internet, tv, washer/dryer, laundry detergent, dish soap, and a coffee maker. A nice touch was the fresh designer shampoo and soap in each of the showers. The apartment was perfect for our family of four including our 6 and 8 year old girls, particularly because it is a half block from the beach! Supermarket Zona Sul is a 7-8 minute walk, smaller stores are even closer, and there's takeout pizza just 3 or 4 minutes away at Vespa (until 2am!). Leblon is the perfect neighborhood for families or anyone else wanting to experience the best of Rio. Thanks, Beatriz!
