Staying at la "portao vermelho" was an unforgetable experience,
it's located in a very auiet and safe neibourhood at the top of santa teresa,45 mn by foot to the corcovado thru the jungle, quiet far from the center but two bus and a minibus come down regularly, you have to find a taxy to come back at night.
You will have for you a huge living room, a room, a batroom ,a kitchen and fridge and a garden with outside shower, the flat is decorated with taste and personality , there is a fantastic view from the garden and living room .
We met two of the host (Blas and Cecilia) who were very kind ,helpfull with a lot of tricks and advice to make your stay easy!
To summarize, this will be a fantastic andunconventionnal experience of Rio but you must have enought for apreciate the place itself!
