I stayed at Eduardo and Raimundos for ten days, the location for me was ideal, 8 minute walk down hill to Lapa, a 12 minutes walk uphill to Santa Teresa or a £1.50 Uber ride but the area felt safe so I walked everywhere including to flamengo beach (20 minutes)
The apartment is part of their home which is split into 3 separate apartments having your own space and patio area, it has a bohemian feel being over 100 years old and great to relax in as the bed is amazing, also even though it was 90+ degrees it felt cool most of the time so never used the air conditioning and the fan only a few times,
The kitchen is basic but enough for cold beer, hot coffee and scrambled eggs for breakfast so did the job ok for me,
The whole place is like a living museum and they are the perfect host’s, it was a pleasure to stay there and I was sad to leave but I’m sure I’ll return
