We stayed at Luciana apt for 4 nights in late November and everything was excellent. 2 sets of keys were left w/ the doorman and check in was a breeze. The apt is ideally located near the beach (a bit closer to ipan) and within close range of markets, plenty of places to eat, a lively square, and the metro. The porch was a nice as we could have expected and was surprisingly quiet (no monkey sightings though, maybe we weren't up early enough). Obrigado, Luciana.
