We very much enjoyed our stay. The flat is everything we expected, having the terrace was especially a nice touch. It's on the top floor, so the view is incredible, a panoramic view of the ocean and mountains. The location, in the heart of Leblon, is the most ideal in all of Rio. You feel very safe here (and in Rio, this is saying a lot!). It's close to the beach and all the great restaurants and cafes and shops. So this is the flat to stay at in Rio. And Silvia is a gracious host. She took the time to make sure we took advantage of Leblon and to make sure we were comfortable. The building staff is very accomodating and having parking on site made the experience all the better. When we come back, we definately will stay here again!
