Lucia is an amazing host , everything just worked perfectly ! The apartment was spotless when we arrived . We stayed a week and felt at home all the time . The apartment's location is very convenient, close to bars, restaurants, shops and markets. I can not be happier with our stay in Rio !

We had a very pleasant stay at your apartment. Lucia offered excellent hospitality, was very accommodating and helpful during our stay. Overall it was a great experience. The apartment is very much as described and was extremely clean and comfortable. Everything worked well and it was great to have a washing machine. We had no problem with the view of the favela, but the music in the evenings and dogs barking in the morning were a bit of a nuisance, but nothing major. The area around the apartment is fantastic, just a short walk from many good restaurants, subway, grocery stores, and only 10 minute walk to the beach. The security at the apartment is excellent. We will definitely contact you again should our family stay in Rio in the future.

We stayed in Lucia's apartment during of the 2014 World Cup. It was a excellent experience! And the hostess is the best. The apartment is roomy and very comfortable. The kitchen has every thing you might want. The air conditioning works very well. Very good location with very friendly building staff. Great restaurants nearby. Much cheaper than hotel rooms in the same location. I would certainly return. Thank you Lucia for everything and I hope to have an excuse to visit your beautiful city and your apartment in the near future!! Ipanema is fantastic.

I rented this apartment with my family during the December, we had a great time there! Overall, the apartment is well located (near Street Farme the Amoedo), and near lots of restaurants & bars. For once, the apartment looks like the pictures, which is a good thing. Lucia is a good host, she helped us on several manners and gave us a special week when we arrived! We spent a very nice time there! Frenk F
