Luciana was a great host. She was very attentive to our concerns and helpful in providing information on getting around Rio de Janeiro and visiting some of the city's must see landmarks. When we had a question regarding the apartment or needs (for example getting a taxi to the airport), she was quick to reply. Overall, she was very nice and welcoming.

The location of the apartment is ideal. It is three blocks from the beach. It is also located in Leme we each is right next to Copacabana. Markets, banks and restaurants are plentiful and an easy walk from the building. It is also a block away from an important bus stop which takes you into the center of the city and only a few blocks away from a subway metro stop.

Last, this part of Rio is safe and just pleasant to walk around and explore.
