Ana Lucia is a real first-class host. She is extremely helpful, kind and caring. The house is beautiful, very clean, tasteful, modern and greatly equipped. Bathrooms are amazing - each room has a private one. The area ist very safe. Great supermarket just few minutes walking distance away. Barra de Tijuca is an excellent area besides the typical touristic turmoil. Yet, nice bus rides to those places are available 3 min away from the house. We highly recommend to everyone visiting Rio to stay at Ana Lucia`s home.
