All the reviews you have read up until this one are all true! Cannot say enough great things about Lua! I've traveled extensively using Airbnb and by far, Lua takes home the Gold Medal, bringing excellent Hosting to a whole other level. The kindest, most lovingly generous, and caring aren't enough adjectives to describe how well you are taken care of. You simply will not find better in the entire city! She truly loves her work and goes beyond that extra mile to be so personable and helpful in all aspects of the experience.
The apartment is awesome! Cozy, clean, comfy, tastefully decorated with all the convenient and necessary amenities well provided for. I especially loved her charming terrace that opens up to a view of the street. The neighborhood is safe and super convenient with so many cool cafes/restaurants. I loved the authenticity of feeling apart of a real Carioca neighborhood. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful passion for Hosting Lua!
