We loved staying at Luis' place. You are a few minutes walk from the metro, and surrounded by great bars and restaurants in Botafogo. Everything was clean and tidy, with great amenities. Before we arrived, I had sent Luis a couple of messages asking for help on certain things we wanted to do in Rio and he was very helpful - thank you Luis. I was worried about safety in Rio, but felt secure in our stay, with a 24 hour doorman to let you in and out of the building. I would definitely stay again!!
