Tania's home was everything I could ask for during my stay in Rio. The apartment is bright and comfortable, and the view cannot be beat. It's in a great location in the beautiful Santa Teresa, and it's an easy walk to fantastic bars and restaurants both at the top of the hill and streets of Lapa. I was living in her apartment by myself, and I, personally, felt very secure in the neighborhood. Tania was incredibly welcoming and warm when she showed me the apartment, and she was attentive and responsive before and during my stay.
Highly recommended!
