Gisella is the perfect host. We were in constant contact with her, very responsive, and some of our best experiences while in Lapa were from her recommendations.

If you are looking to be in the heart of Lapa, this place is for you. My girlfriend and I are in our young 20's and we absolutely loved the location, about a block away from the famous Arches, and right in the middle of the main street where all the bars and clubs are. Our friends that we met in Rio were all jealous of how close we were to where everyone goes out, it was so convenient to go out for a couple drinks, pop back in to the apartment for some food or to grab more money, then walk right back out to the party.

This apartment is perfect for two people, but could fit more if needed. Very clean, nice kitchen, bathroom with washer and a neat clothes wrack that's hooked up to a pulley system. Bars, clubs, restaurants, supermarkets, and pharmacies are all within walking distance.

The famous steps of Lapa are also within walking distance as well as a metro stop that will take you to Copacabana, Ipanema, Centro and many other areas very easily.

I would highly recommend Gisella as a host and this apartment as a great place to stay while in Rio.

Thanks Gisella!
