Tucked away on a quiet, cobblestone street, this beautiful residence is hosted by the most helpful and friendly couple you could ever meet.
The location in Lapa is spectacular! It's only a few minutes from the nearest subway to the beaches and other tourist areas, and a short walk from many excellent restaurants and bars. Feel free to ask Alexandre for tips on where to eat, he will not disappoint you!
Also, with it being in a central area, most Uber drivers are only a minute away and very affordable, so the house really is a great hub for all there is to see in Rio! Being on a quiet street full of family homes, the area also feels very safe.
The house itself is gorgeous. The hosts are obvious lovers of art and it shows. The residence is adorned throughout with beautiful artwork and lovely furnishings. There is a large dining area on the first level, a spacious living room on the next and a brilliant little roof-top space to relax on as well. All of the guest rooms were lovingly decorated as well and their "lived-in" feel makes them very easy to fully totally relax and recuperate in.
Finally, if you're a coffee drinker, do not turn down a morning offer of coffee from these hosts. It is one of the finest ways to start the day in Rio de Janeiro!
I would like to think that these hosts are now much more than that. They are our friends in Rio.
Until next time. Muito obrigado!
