Ed is very kind, caring and flexible. We were able to check-in early in the morning and also the check out was flexible. Ed and Luca are very easy going people. The cleanliness of the communal rooms and of the bathroom can be improved. The are around the flat is great for going out (clubs, bars in Lapa), there is a great Pizza place literally across the road and the Flamengo beach is a 15 minute walk from Ed's place. The room sleeps 2 people comfortably. We stayed there as 3 people, but we made it work
