I had a great time at Pedro's beautiful house. It is not only architecturally wonderfully designed, it is also well decorated and comfortable. The alley in which the house is situated is very cute. The construction works in the neighbouring house was only during daytime when I wasn't home anyway. The location is absolutely perfect, half way between Ipanema beach and the lagoa/lake. The supermarket, restaurants/cafés, pharmacies, hospital, subway etc. are all within a 2-5 minute walk. Pedro and his family are very friendly and will make everything for you to feel at home and enjoy your stay. They allowed me to use the washing machine, the bike, etc. which was extremely convenient for me. I highly recommend this place! 😍
