The place I located centrally. It is close to the subway, supermarkets and restaurants. The room is big and comfortable. So is the private bathroom that has everything you need, like towels, soap and blow dryer. The house is very clean, neat, and well equipped. You have access to a good kitchen and a washing machine.
Luiz is a great host. He is very easy going, respectful and great company. He gives good tips of what to do in Rio and serves a nice breakfast. We felt like we were at home and are definitely gonna stay there next time we are in Rio.
