Thiago’s place is located close to Lapa area, as a tourist, which means to you that you live close to Carioca Aqueduct, Santa Teresa Tram line, all the travel agency pick up tourists at Celina Lapa hotel, and moreover, Lapa’s Samba bars. 5 minutes walk from metro Gloria station, many buses nearby. This is an excellent location. Thiago always return your message within short period. The communication is good. For the interior, you have everything you needed for your stay, include kitchen appliances, lots of storage cabinets, wifi is good, the building is safe to stay, other residents are very friendly. One thing need to mention, just because it is in an area with excellent night life, the street noise is something you might need consider when you book this place. I do not have problem for that, because I was busy touring all the Rio de Janeiro’s attractions during the day and falling sleep quickly at night. In short, I recommend this place to tourists for a short stay.
