The art of knowing how to balance between being helpful and respecting the privacy of your guest. Luiz has it all. He deserves his Airbnb super-host ranking. I spent 6 wonderful days at the room/little suite at the top of his house. With your own comfortable bathroom and your own private staircase, you can easily feel at home. Unlike most Carioca apartments, the apartment of Luiz is very spacious, luminous, and modern. Botafogo is a very laid back neighborhood, and its centrality is a great advantage. Highly recommended!
