The bungalow is an amazing place to stay, and relax while you are in Rio. Our host was very flexible as they allowed us to check-in early, greatly appreciated! The pool is small but it's perfect for cooling off and/or reading if you need a break from the city. The location is in a unique part of town and conveniently close to Centro. Santa Teresa is lively during the weekends but is very peaceful during the weekday. The living space was clean, spacious, and comfortable. The host is very kind, welcoming, and most importantly respectful of your privacy and space. Highly recommend staying!
