Staying at Casa Abobora was an amazing experience!! The house is large, airy and has one of the most privileged and beautiful views of Rio de Janeiro. The community in which the house is located, Vidigal, is safe and very centric as it takes only 10 minutes to get to well known beaches like Ipanema and Leblon. The house is fully equipped with all of the necessities, and the owner is very helpful. This is an amazing way to get to know the real Rio without sacrificing your comfort, I highly recommend!
