This is a true find! The apartment feels homey, has a great deck, and amazing views. It's in a gorgeous cobblestone neighborhood, close to a cafe and a 5/10 walk from to all the shops, restaurants, and sights of Santa Teresa, my favorite neighbor in Rio. It's also super close to Lapa and the Center of town, and close to the great neighborhoods of Laranjeiras and Botofogo. I would love to stay here again :) One note: if steps are a challenge for you, know that you will have to climb roughly two flights up to the street, or four flights down to another street. But that's Santa Teresa for you -- and the culture of the neighborhood and its architecture make the steps well worth it.
