Wonderful stay!! Carola was a great host, was very knowledgeable about getting around and what to see and her english was excellent. The accomodation was just as described, cozy and charming with modern elements and very spacious. We were very comfortable and loved the area - great views, a little more relaxed (from all the hustle and bustle of Rio), older architecture, close to the Metro and lots of great little restuarants, cafe's, grocery stores etc. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again!!
