We stayed at Luiz house for 5 Days with 14 friends for my 40th birthday.
The house was sparkling clean. The Bedlinen were all white (better than in the pictures). The communication with Luiz was immediate almost 6 months in advance of the trip and Luiz helped me to answer many questions I had about Rio . The welcome by Danielle, luiz wife, was really nice and she made all possible to make our stay great.
The house is great. All bedrooms are en-suite. All with air conditioner.
The best part of the house is the swimming pool and the open space with kitchen etc (ideal for big parties)
My only comment would be / it would have been better to rent a car since the house is located on the other side of the lake. However we took all the time Uber cars and it worked very well. Rio distances are huge and it took us aprox 15 min to get to the closest beach by car.
Luis helped me to find a person to clean the house every day. She was there from 6 am prepared breakfast for us and cleaned the house with an enthusiasm I have hardly ever seen!!
We didn’t cook much but there are millions of utensils to cook and kitchens can be found outside next to the pool and inside.
A great Supermarket (orti fruti) is located aprox 5 blocks away. We also bought ready made Chinese food at china box (4 blocks away)
Rio is amazing and barra is the best and safest beach to stay.
Thanks a lot Luiz!!
I hope I can come back !
