Where to begin : it was such an amazing stay. the most beautiful house ever been to , like a Brazilian paradise with amazing view , arts and garden. Everyday we got the most great breakfast in the garden with the most fresh fruits. All being served with a smile. The location is amazing , for the real Rio experience the best place to be. Quite enough in the street, but when you just go out the house you get in to the most lovely pittoresk square with the amazing little church. From there we could explore Santa Teresa with ease or go by taxi to the many touristic places Rio had to offer. Last but certainly not least, Mathieu was such a great host to us. He helped us with everything and was really easy to communicate with. Amazing host who loves to have people over and explain how Rio works (quite important). We had the best experience in Airbnb in this house. Very much recommended for anybody who want to have a great stay in Rio!
