House Rules
Pet-friendlyKid friendly
Check with owner: Smoking allowed
Pets allowed under fee. Smoking outside. Keep the place clean. Be polite and kind. Strangers are not allowed. Guest will pay for any damage or loss. Always turn off electric devices after using and before leaving the house. Voltage is 110V. It is fine to use books, DVDs and other things but please, put them back in their original place after using them. I am very conservative with water and energy so be kind to nature when using them. When using the jacuzzi, use the outdoor shower first.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Safe, Quiet, Convenient
I've lived here for 2 months in 2015 during my visit to PUC-rio. The house has everything you need, even a laundry service (at least during my stay).
The location is wonderful. The neighbourhood is quiet. Two minutes' walking to the university. Ten minutes' walking to Gavea, where you can find malls and restaurants. Moreover, it is very close to the Ipanema beach. You can either walk there or take a taxi.
Luciana was very kind to me. I asked her lots of questions, and she answered them all. This relay helped me a lot explore Rio.

Wonderful stay in Gavea
I had a wonderful stay with my family and close friends in Luciana's beautiful home! The location was superb - just a short walk to the local Gavea shops and Leblon beach is nearby. We stayed during the Rio Olympics and the atmosphere in the surrounding areas was amazing. We felt safe at all times when out and about and loved coming back to our private sanctuary. The house is extremely comfortable and well maintained.We had wifi throughout the whole house, tvs in all bedrooms and the bathrooms were immaculate. It was so lovely to relax in the comfortable family home after a busy day.
We engaged the Luciana's house maid during our stay - which was a wonderful luxury. I had no problem liaising with Luciana - she was very prompt and nothing was too much trouble. If I ever get the chance to go back to Rio, I would definitely stay here again - we have so many happy memories of our stay!

Beautiful house and welcoming family!
This place is amazing! I stayed at Luciana´s house for three weeks. I was looking for a place to live with a Brazilian family for the beginning of my stay in Rio and I am very happy I found this location. The house is big, beautifully decorated and they have two super friendly dogs and an adorable cat. It is the perfect place for both families and students, since it is located in a safe neighborhood and only five minutes away walking from the Pontifica Universidade Catolica. Both Luciana and her husband are incredible hosts and will make you feel at home during your entire stay. I will visit again! :-)

Good location, beautiful house, perfectly equiped, lovely host. Perfect!
The house is gorgeous, very well decorated, with very good taste. We were 8 people staying there, we had lots of space for all of us and in perfect conditions: good wi-fi (internet everywhere), air conditioning in all rooms, modern bathrooms, etc. It is very well located, in a residential neighborhood, very quiet and full of green and not far from the most attractive beaches: Leblon and Ipanema (10 min by taxi) Would definitely stay here again.

About the neighbourhood
Gávea is a noble upscale residential neighborhood between the Botanical Garden and the Leblon beach, with a city park full of green and rivers. It is where PUC University is. Close to Leblon and Ipanema beaches and the Botanical Garden (10 min by taxi, bus or less than a half hour walking). It is always a couple of degrees fresher in Gavea than the rest of the city. In a 10-15 min walk you are at the Gavea Mall where you will find restaurants, bars, ATM machines, money exchange, movie theaters, play houses and stores in this chick neighborhood. In 7 min walk you are at IMS museum with a movie theater and restaurant. In 15 min walk you can bathe in a river water natural pool at the City Park. This is a quiet neighborhood with all amenities but close from the busy Rio night life too.
Getting around
The house sits on the neighborhood main street where there are buses to the beaches (10 min ride), Botanical Garden (less than 10 min bus ride) and everywhere else. The metro bus comes nearby. Very easy to find a taxi just waiting outside the house. A taxi from the airport ranges at around 60 BRL and I can arrange one that I trust to pick my guests up. Just let me know.
