We loved our stay at Leo’s house in Lapa! The house is located at the top of the Selarón steps so a great location if you want to explore Lapa (as long as you don’t mind walking up 220 steps to get home!) and close to Gloria or Cinelandia metro stations to easily access other parts of Rio including Copacabana and Ipanema. The house itself is really cool - really nice decor, spacious room, and hammock in the courtyard to relax. Leo is a great host too! We stayed for New Year’s Eve and Leo gave us great information about hot to collect special metro tickets and where the best place to watch the fireworks was. He also made us a special New Year’s Day breakfast which was so thoughtful! 😀
