Lucas is a fantastic host he is very sweet and genuine, we had a great time at his place it is very clean and there is plenty of interesting stuff to look at from his unique art pieces to his DIY fridge art. This place is located in a hip cool part of town with shopping malls and farmers makers within a 15 mins walking. The "Cristo" is a short taxi ride away and Copa cabana is less than a 10min drive in a taxi. There is also a market right down stairs to stock up on fruit or snacks. Lucas is super helpful and attentive also he speaks a ton of languages so odds are you can communicate! thanks again Lucas and I will see you when I return to Brazil sometime.
