After having stayed with Tatiana and Nilton for 3 ½ weeks, I only can say that they are the best hosts one can imagine and I would always choose their lovely apartment when I am going back to Rio. Their apartment is beautifully decorated, bright, clean and well located. It is, as well as the building itself, very well maintained. I felt immediately at home in the lovely room from which you have a wonderful view of the hills of Santa Teresa and where you truly can hear a lots of birds singing. The apartment is located in a nice, quiet and safe street just a 5 minutes walk from the metro station Gloria, a 10 minutes walk to Santa Teresa and a 10 minutes walk to Lapa. I found the location perfect to get to know a part of Rio which is not as touristy and loud as are, for example, some parts of Copacabana and from where you can easily reach all different parts of Rio by metro and bus.
However, the place would not be as nice if there weren’t Tatiana and Nilton! They are extremely warm, welcoming, helpful, generous, open-minded and educated. They would always do their best to make your stay in Rio a great one! I would have loved to stay longer at their place when I decided to prolong my stay in Rio. Unfortunately, this was not possible because of a family visit. Nevertheless, I very much hope to be able to come back soon and will then certainly choose their apartment again.
Thank you so much, Tatiana and Nilton!
