Luciana place is wonderful. She was very communicative and was so generous to allow me a late check out. The apartment is in a prime location steps away from the beach and restaurants. The apartment was very clean and had plenty of towels. The shower in the master bedroom was Excellent. Very hot water which I loved. If you ever need a place to stay in Rio, specifically in Ipanema, Leblon, or Copacabana give Luciana place a try.
