Staying at this Airbnb, in Centro/lapa area, Rio de Janeiro, was an amazing experience, Starting with the excellent communication with Luiz (The Host), where he answered all my questions, and gave easy instructions, and provided all the information I needed. To arriving, and self checking-in, with the information Luiz provided, it could not have been smoother. Everything about the experience was first class. I never wanted to leave, the place had everything you needed as far as amenities which was great. The airbnb is located in a great spot in Rio de Janeiro, it's a short walk to good restaurants, grocery stores, nightlife (bars), little shopping areas, pharmacies. Getting around was easy. I was able to get around anywhere in Rio in a decent time, by walking if the location was close or by uber if the location wasn't walking distance. The airbnb was cozy, and made for a great relaxing area to read or watch TV. The airbnb is spacious, very tidy, well maintained, and comfortable for 1 to 2 people, and has everything you need for a long stay or short stay. The kitchen is spacious, and well equipped, and has a washer machine to wash clothes. The bedroom, and the bathroom was very clean. It's a great neighborhood, that gets even better when you get to the restaurants, and shopping areas, it has lots of life, and lively, However it is pretty quiet on the actual street the airbnb is located at, which I loved. Luiz was awesome, which I truly appreciate, it was extremely helpful for me to have a host take care of me, and help me out if I had questions, or issues with anything. Luiz provided everything I needed. I had no issues with the place, it was amazing, and one of my favorite airbnb I've stayed at in Brazil. It is a pleasure to say how wonderful my stay in this Airbnb was, Luiz was great help during my stay. Anytime I approached Luiz with a problem or question, it would get handled fast. Thank you so much Luiz!! Definitely recommend for individual, or couples, and for long or short stays. Luiz is a wonderful host. Luiz has a beautiful airbnb, that is well equipped. I highly recommend this place for your stay in Rio de Janeiro. You will love Luiz's beautiful airbnb.
