It was very nice to stay at Antonio's home. As I was travelling alone, the room was quite large enough. Everything was clean. Antonio is a great and nice man who takes care of his guests. Antonio is also a perfect guide. He knows the fantastic places to go out for a lunch, diner, a dance ballroom, a capairina 'made on the street'.....and always where the real Brasilians live. He has also the connections for visiting a local 'Favela'. Antonio explain how to visit the neibourghood in safe conditions. I felt very safe at Santa Teresa. There is a real policeforce who kept control into the streets . Antonio's house is located in a quite street. All local Brasilians living there. Nice neibourghood for exploring Graffiti. There is a nice 'vibe', lovely people and sunny weather. Great city to discover. I LOVE RIO DE JANEIRO
