Santa Teresa is my favourite neighbourhood to stay in Rio because it offers a sanctuary just moments away from the bustle below. And Elisa's place is a sanctuary within Santa Teresa itself, so it couldn't have been more perfect. It's a beautiful house nestled among the jungle greenery of the hillside, and I was very happy with the basic conveniences of my room (and glad for the AC). Delighted too to be able to wake up with a dip in the pool! I hope to be back.
