Leonardo was a great host...excellent at communicating before our arrival, and then throughout our stay as well.
The apartment was fantastic, even better than the pictures and description. It's a beautiful heritage building, and the suite is very spacious and complete with every amenity you might need. It was great for the five of us - my husband and I, my parents and our 4 year old daughter. The location is unbeatable...just 3 blocks or so from Copacabana Beach. There are three grocery stores within a couple of blocks, subway station around the corner, lots of restaurants and shops. Definitely a great place to stay while in Rio!
