Close to the airport, centro and very close to Lapa, which for whatever it lacks during the day it has in the evening for a very entertaining weekend nightout or a nice week evening eating at one of the many restaurants. The doormen are welcoming and helpful, be prepared as they speak only portuguese. The service of Luiz Felipe top class, he will go that extra mile to assist you fairly. Kitchen and sofa could be cleaned a little more thoroughly but the room and the bathroom were clean and proper. The view on the Catedral Moderna and the Acqueduct is a nice addition, and the overall design is nice. Spacious and luminous for a one bedroom. During winter the day is shorter so it’s important to plan activities and sightings carefully and account for contingencies as there is a lot to see and not enough time! Thanks to the host
