I had a great time staying at Antonio's house. He's a great host, always trying to make you feel at home. The house is right in the corner of the busiest part of Lapa, less than 5 min walk to Arcos da Lapa, bars and nightclubs. From his house you can take a bus that brings you to Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon beaches. Antonio and his girlfriend were also a great company, my boyfriend and I enjoyed all the time we spent with them. I would definitely stay at Antonio's house again.
