The place is a really cool colonial house, at the beginning of Santa Teresa, where there are amazing views from Rio. It’s very easy to move around anywhere from there, buses and tube to South and West and if you dig a bohemian lifestyle, lots of samba bars in Lapa which is literally one block from the house, still the street where is located is quiet. If you speak Portuguese, say hi to the neighbours, they are super sweet! You’ll also fall in love with the two coolest housecats I’ve ever seen!
Antonio is a very cool host, he knows everything about Rio and will be a great help showing you around and telling you everything about this wonderful city! We super recommend his place and will definitely be back, but next time a bit longer than four days!
