I had a great experience with my girlfriend in Rio de Janeiro. We enjoyed very much the awesome view, the sound of the birds and the stunning sunrise from the apartment.
Fernando and his wife are very nice, they helped us regarding all the questions and welcomed us very warm. All in all we had a great experience. The only thing I underestimated was the loud music on the weekends and the rough way down to the beaches. It took us about 50 - 60 to get with the Bus down to "Largo do Machado" and then with the Metro to "Copa/Ipa etc." But if you are looking for a relaxed Holiday in the green while getting the bohemian flair of Santa Teresa, this is a great choice.

Thank you
