Louri was a fabulus host! Went way out of his way to make certain that we were comfortable and happy with his place. The location was ~2 blocks from Copacabana Beach and an easy walk to Ipanema. There are "by the kilo" restaurants, markets, ATMs and a self-service laundomat nearby. Though Louri's place is in a lively area, we had no trouble sleeping at night. His was the best Airbnb place we've stayed at! Had a great with a great host. Would definitely stay again!
