Lugia’s place looks just like the pictures, so you won’t be disappointed. She was also very quick to respond to any messages and the whole check in process was very easy for a first time Airbnb user who was quite nervous.
Lugia even provided us with a late check out which was very much appreciated.
We shared the apartment with our two boys and felt there was enough space without feeling too cramped. There were two bathrooms and showers in the apartment.
The cooking facilities were great and we had everything needed to prepare family meal for a rainy day in.
The area was very central 6 mins from the beach, shops and places to eat. (You must try Marius in Lemme very lovely restaurant with excellent service )
For travel we advise using Uber is very safe and super cheap.
The apartment has a concierge/security who provide you with access so we felt very secure. They were also on hand to answer any questions we had about the building.
On the whole we had a great time in Rio and this won’t be the last time we visit. We found the people warm and friendly and always happy to assist a tourist like me who speaks limited Portuguese. Advisable to learn some basics at least.
Thank you again Lugia. Alanna & family
