My partner and I stayed at Luiz's place for 7 days and we could not have asked for a better experience in rio. Luiz was so welcoming and provided us with so much information and activities to do in the area, he even took us with him to his favourite surfing beach away from the touristy area.
The breakfast each morning is just what you need, with fresh fruit and great coffee always ready for you to start your day.
The room is very private and big enough for a couple to stay in for a period of time. Luiz has bikes that you can use any time of the day and Copacabana is a short and easy ride away.
If you are looking to be away from the tourist areas and have a quiet and comfortable stay in rio- this is for you!!!
