Luzia’s place is in a great location in botafogo, in a very safe condominium. We came during Carnaval and appreciated the heightened level of security, and the on premise parking.
Upon arrival we realized that there weren’t any towels or soap in the bathrooms, but then received info from the host that the towels were located in a locked cabinet.
The place itself was clean, the location is great, but the issue I had was that Luzia messaged me many times during my stay asking me to pay her for linens and to pay her for parking, while the listing clearly shows these amenities included. It was rude and very unappreciated.
We were also asked by Luzia many times to extend our stay, when I made it clear we were only there for two nights.
I would not stay here again, and if I didn’t speak Portuguese there would be almost no way I’d be able to do the checkin myself.
