Luciana's apartment was better than expected. There was plenty of space for the 3 of us who were staying there for 5 nights. The living room has 2 comfortable sofas, one of which I comfortably slept on, and a dining table. The kitchen has pretty much everything you would need, with the exception of a cooker. But there is a bbq style grill which we used for a lovely bbq on our last evening. Luciana was very helpful and kind enough to pick us up from the airport. And as she lives next door (both apartments are on the top floor for best views in the block), it was very easy to speak to her when needed. I would strongly recommend Luciana's apartment and would book again if I return to Rio. Finally, Copacabana beach is 2 blocks / 3-5 minute walk away, with a supermarket conveniently around the corner from her apartment.
