Marcos was a wonderful host. He rallied to get the apartment ready when we booked last minute and took time to welcome us late at night, providing insights about the neighbourhood and things to do in Rio. The apartment is very nice and spacious, was very clean and well appointed, in a secure building. Building staff was very friendly and helpful as well. Building is two blocks away from Ipanema beach, underground station is also two blocks away and Ubers come quickly. Lots of commerce around, including bakeries, supermarkets, restaurants and more. Leblon is one of the "safer" neighbourhoods in Rio, we walked on the main street at night felt very safe, lots of nice people around. Highly recommended, if you have the opportunity to book this place it's definitely worth it. Thank you Marcos.
