Outstanding host
We were lucky enough to get Michael as a host welcoming us in his beautiful local home in Santa Teresa, a great spot on a beautiful stairway with colorful street art surrounded by an inspiring and green neibourhood.
Santa Teresa is a place for music and art lovers and its central location means that after a quick walk down the beautiful Selaron Stairs to Lapa square you can access public transport for the rest of the city. We loved the vibrant atmosphere of the area.
Chilling on the balcony overlooking the city while listening to music from a great sound system was a wonderful way to spend our time when not exploring the city. All the necessities were provided, including a filter for drinking water plus the house has nice wooden floors.
Michael was the best host: he provided us with all the possible local knowledge and information for us to enjoy our stay in Rio in a more authentic way. We went out together the first night and he took us to a local restaurant and bars to enjoy a sample of the live music culture in Lapa. All the while offering us insights of Rio's history and culture, and updated us with great advise about what to do and where to go for the rest of our stay. His insight and his house made our holiday in Rio easy and even better than we expected.
Thank you Michael for making our time in Rio golden.
