Luiz was such a welcoming host. From the second we walked in he made us feel like we were staying with a friend! Our first morning he talked us through the neighborhood and gave us tips for getting around. The location was perfect. It's about 15 minutes from the beach and about 5 from the botanical garden. Not to mention multiple restaurants and a market right outside the apartment. The room was spacious and had everything you would need, including AC for those hot summer nights. Overall we couldn't be more pleased with our stay!
