Piero's home is as beautiful as he is welcoming.
It looks exactly like the photos, and is located in a very safe part of ipanema.
It's on a hillside, but easy to walk, and if you're feeling lazy, the cabs are super cheap in Rio. We actually found it cheaper to split a cab than to pay for two metro tickets most of the time!
I absolutely recommend Piero's wonderful home with its amazing views and terraces for your trip to Rio!
