Lucas was likely the most responsive and helpful hosts we have ever encountered with Airbnb. Check in was seemless and the extra touches he left out for New Years went beyond expectations. His place is in a very safe and central neighborhood close to bars and some really good restaurants as well as the metro (only one stop to copacabana). We appreciated staying away from the touristy locations in Rio. You feel like a local in this area. The space was impeccable and well equipped for cooking. I would very highly recommend his place for anyone going to Rio. Thanks again, Lucas!
