If you're looking for a nice place to stay in Lapa I recommend this place. It looks just like described. Athough the living room and kitchen are a bit small, it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Felipe and Jose were perfect hosts as they were very responsive to our needs. It was very easy to get around with taxis and buses regularly available. I agree Lapa isn't that pretty but it was fun and has a unique bohemian flare. A must see.
