We had a wonderful time in Rio. Anna's place is a beautiful restored old house that makes you feel at home in an instant. And Santa Theresa is a very nice neighbourhood with lots of cool bars and restaurant and nice art shops. Ot has a great vibe with life music playing in the streets and very safe. It is a downhill walking trip to metro gloria from which you can easily discover the rest of Rio. Anna had great tips for us to spend our time wisely and helped us with our plans for NYE.
