Luan is a great host. He was very accommodating to my arrival time and had everything ready for me. He gave me some recommendations of things to do in the area, and let me use his home workout equipment.
the area is nice, very close to a metro and two beaches. there is also an outdoor gym near the Arpoador for those interested.
the wifi was fast and reliable, it was comfortable to work from home in the room during the day.
I definitely recommend staying with Luan (and his dog!) if you are spending time around Ipanema/Copacabana
