This is a lovely and spacious room at the top of a hill in Jardim Botanico. The value for money is great- you get a large room and your own bathroom (there’s even a hammock!) and the house itself is beautiful with amazing views of the Lagoa. There’s no A/C, which I thought would be problematic, but actually it wasn’t an issue at all. The room stayed pretty cool and with a breeze and a fan, it was fine! Nelci puts out some coffee, bread and butter and apples for breakfast which was a nice touch. You’re walking distance to a main road with restaurants and grocery stores, but will likely call an Uber for anything beyond that. One minor complaint- the shower water pressure is pretty weak. Otherwise, wonderful stay in a very green and quiet corner of Rio!
