Luiz was a great host. Very nice place and a perfect location. 1 block from the beach and cool bars and restaurants. And I got very lucky my first night when it happened to be his aunts birthday and Luiz invited me celebrate with the entire family. Great food, drinks, foxtrot dancing with grandma and partying. What more could you ask for. I would recommend Luiz to anyone looking for a great spot to stay in Rio.
