Vanessa was a great hose, House was spotless clean it looks exactly like the pictures the areas great, it's nicely decorated, it has a washing machine (a big plus) it has 24 hour security. The terrace of the apartment overlooks the mountain jungle area in the back it is super quiet there's a busy street in front of the building you don't hear one single car there are two great restaurants directly across the building and inside the beautiful Lagoa Park. I usually stay in the Leblon area but now after staying in Vanessa'a place I prefer Lagoa.if you want a quiet get away with the beach in a 7 minute car ride away. this is the place.
