Teresa was an amazing host. She attended to all our needs. The apartment is very clean. Her home helper was very friendly and so Teresa's boyfriend. The everyday breakfast is definitely top notch and is very healthy and delicious. The room has its own air conditioning unit. Her property is well secure. The room has a small lock and code safe that you can use for your important personal items, as well as a 24 hour security provided by the apartment building. On our next stay in Rio we will def stay with Teresa again. We highly recommend her to anyone planning to spend their holidays in Rio de Janeiro.
