Santa Teresa is a great area in Rio. Casa was extremely accomodated, everyone was really nice. The rooms are great, well conserved, zero mold and I had no allergies.
About the area: It’s a pretty good place to stay if you don’t want to be in the noise of the main areas and want a safe place to stay. There are nice places walling distance and most of what you need you can find it around here. The weather is nice because you’re in a hill so the wind blows nice.
About the stay: I love they have breakfast every morning, it helps me start the day in the right foot. They also have a small fridge with beverages, including sodas, beer, and water. The place is pretty quiet, you get to meet other folks staying at other rooms, and you’re in this amazing estate. The staff is extremely nice and friendly, they knew I was working remotely and decided to accommodate in a room that was best for me to take meetings. I have nothing bad to say about this place.
Things to keep in mind:
- You get breakfast, but you don’t have a shared kitchen. This was a bit of a challenge since Rappi and other delivery service weren’t reaching the area, so I had to find websites were I could order directly from restaurants. There is a little fridge to put your stuff and you can ask the staff for plates, silverware, and to heat your food.
- Wifi worked surprisingly well considering you’re in a hill and we had pretty bad rainy days that could kill both power and internet connection. I had a challenge or two with the wifi, but nothing that affected me to conduct my work.
