Luiz's place is in Lapa very close to some tourist attractions. The area is a but dodgy, and VERY loud at night which made our stay very miserable as we couldn't get any sleep. They played loud, obnoxious music until 5am every night.
Luiz responds very quickly and was very helpful when we didn't know how to use the hot water for shower. He offered to come over to help or get professionals. His flat is just perfect in size for 3 adults. He is a nice host.
Leave luggage service is available with his concierge which was very convenient for us.
