We were warmly received by a pretty and efficient young woman who was also a polyglot, and who had time to orient us to Rio, and help us with transportation for all of our outings. The room was delightful, as was the rest of the house, decorated with spirit and finesse, and spankingly clean. We loved the area, and our view of the city from our room, from the terrace, and from the elegant living room. Our hosts were like family, and cared for our well-being without being obstrusive.
Our successful visit to Rio was attributable in large part to our home in Santa Teresa.
