Unforgettable weekend. Free, organic environment. Good vibes.
Highlights: breathtaking view, record player with great records (and aux cord!), style
Mi amor y yo came to spend some time together and experience a different barrio of Rio before we continue our studies in Santiago. The view is breath taking and you can open all the windows on two of the walls for breeze and sunshine. Cute and comfy sitting areas. A few friends came over before Lapa and it was really fun with a record player, the air, and the sunset. Lapa is just a walk away to some of the best clubs and bars. Be careful coming home late though, or just catch a cab, my friends and I have had many close (and not so close) calls when you linger where you shouldn't.
Yes, only three sides are closed in, but there are shades around one of the beds. We were there during a huge storm and flooding. Everything inside the bedroom area stayed impressively dry, but there were a few leaks where the two roofs came together where we had to put some buckets. We could sit on the balcony comfortably during the entire storm because of the roof over the porch!
Great place to reconnect with simplicity, beauty, yourself, and your loved ones.
