Tania was SO welcoming and friendly despite our language barrier! She made an effort to communicate with us and gave us many recommendations and safety tips during our stay in Santa Teresa.

Her apartment is located in a very safe neighborhood in the hills. It is very spacious with a beautiful view from the balcony. It is very tastefully decorated, clean, and we felt at home right away. Plenty of natural daylight and fresh air! Wifi was fast too.

This location is very close to many key attractions in Santa Teresa including Escadaria Selaron, Arches of Lapa, Rio de Janeiro Cathedral, etc! If you go up the hill, there is also an area with cute boutiques and small restaurants with great food and outside seating. Just ask Tania and she will tell you!

The bedroom faces the street and can be a little loud in the morning. It's not a really busy street but if you are a light sleeper, I would recommend bringing earbuds. I, however, found it very refreshing to wake up to the sounds of cars and the trolly driving on the cobblestone!

We really fell in love with this apartment and Santa Teresa. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. Hope to come back one day!

Thank you for your hospitality Tania! :)
