What a wonderful place to stay. We couldn't imagine a better start for our Brasil trip. Ion and Sheila are very welcoming hosts and house and garden are like a little oasis in the city with so many details. Ion drove with us to the Supermarket, showed us his Santa Teresa and gave us many good tips and a welcome capirinha - the best we had. Centro and all the other parts of Rio are easy reachable via Uber for less money. If we ever travel to Rio again we would love to stay here again. Thanks for everything, you really created a paradise. And greeting and hugs for little santos cat :)
