I cannot even begin to explain how a wonderful my experience was staying at Livia’s place. Christina was the most hospitable host /manager ever! I arrived very sick and Christina went above and beyond to get the place ready so we could do an much earlier check-in. she was compassionate and patient the place is beautiful, clean, spacious with a magnificent view. I was so pleasantly surprised when I looked through the window and saw the glowing Christ Redeemer up in the mountains! The locations it’s also perfect only 3-4 blocks to Copacabana Beach. Cristina even had a freshly warm baked cake for us. I recommend staying at Livia’s place and I will most definitely stay here again each and every time I come back to Rio de Janeiro. thank you so much Livia for a wonderful stay!
