Gláucio’s Quiti Rio is an amazing stay for those looking to stay in the Lapa area of the city.
After staying 21 days and a superb experience in a very cozy space, for me personally there were only 2 small caviars to keep in mind when visiting, 1. Location is not so good. As a tourist I felt very unsafe waking around the nearby streets and every time I had to go out I opted to Uber to the Carioca metro station, as the ones closer didn’t seem very safe when I visited them. It’s also noisy at night because it’s the center of the city. It’s far from the most known tourist spots but once you find your workflow around the city you get used to it. 2. Late at night and early in the morning the elevators don’t work. Coming home after a long day and having to take the stairs multiple times was extremely exhausting.
Gláucio is one the best hosts and friendliest persons I’ve ever met and I would highly recommend his space. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. Amazing host.
