Patrick’s house is lovely and the location is excellent. We absolutely loved the area, 30 minute walk to Ipanema, 5 minutes to Botanic gardens, and right by lots of cool restaurants. The decor is very cute, with high ceilings and the WiFi and Netflix is a nice touch. He is a friendly host with quick responses. The shower isn’t great and there is only AC in the main bedroom. That room is also really noisy and the bed is a double. I didn’t find the beds very comfortable, they are extremely firm mattresses. It’s a charming house in a great location, however we didn’t sleep well. The bedrooms could be made more comfortable.
