Jardim Botanico is one of the most beautiful and diverse ‚bairros‘ of Rio de Janeiro, it offers relaxation with its vast and scenic botanical garden and the colonial architecture, the rather calm and green streets and on the other hand there is a variety of chique restaurants and bars; shops and galleries.
The suite is situated within Doras studio - a beautiful, recently renovated colonial building, where she produces, stores and shows her ceramic works of art. It‘s a nice room adjoining the patio, which is a beautiful ‚open-air‘-extension of the suite (on sunny days, that is!). It offers all the amenities one needs.
On top of it all, this accomodation comes with the perfect host. Dora left no stone unturned to help me to a good start with my stay here in Rio de Janeiro! She helped me with organizational issues, showed me around the city and even introduced me to fellow artist friends of hers to get my networking going! It’s more than I ever expected of a host, but also a very typical virtue, for Cariocas are known to be very ‚prestativo‘ (courteous)!
I can‘t thank her enough and would always come back to stay here!
