I'd planned a trip to Rio for quite some time and since I was not planning to spend a long time at the place, I prioritized location, but Teresa's place really surprised me in a extremely positive way. The location is perfect; just a few minutes walking to either Copacabana or Ipanema, 15 mins driving to the Christ the Redeemer and lots of options nearby either for lunch, dinner or even groceries to have a meal at the apartment, which was extremely cozy, clean, complete and had everything we required (and even more) for our stay. Teresa received us despite our late arrival, and was kind to explain and give us all the instructions very clearly: this was enough to start and have a great time in Rio. If you are looking for a great location for your stay in Rio, despite if it is long or short, look no further!
