Lília is a warm and kind host who makes sure you feel at home. Good communication too. Laranjeiras is an amzing neighbourhood in Rio, at the end of the street at the square you find bars, restaurants, a supermarkt and a pharmacy. The square gets packed in the evenings throughout the whole week depending on the weather.. locals gather, have a beer, play music and enjoy.. I liked cooking in the kitchenette provided with all the of utensils you need. I loved the blender to make juices in the morning. Would stay here again. Thanks Lília xxxx
