Absolute superlative hosts, Michael and Patricia are one of a kind, sweet and very hospitable couple! From the moment you walk into their home, a sense of peace enters your soul. It becomes obvious now that you have now entered an oasis.
The apartment is beautifully designed and cleaned with such a high level of detail and consideration. The hosts provide an intimate and romantic retreat in the hills of creative Santa Teresa. The apartment is incredibly quiet with some of the best views of all Rio, showcasing Sugarhill and Corcovado in all of its beauty.
We were given a beautiful welcome basket and breakfast, details that rival nearby hotels.
My partner and I stayed here for a week and had a splendid time. Despite some rare issues with the Internet and running water (the city needed to shut off residents water during our stay to make repairs), Michael and Patricia gave every effort to ensure that we were comfortable and that every issue would get resolved. They were always available and despite these inconveniences that were out of their control, they kindly gave us a discount to make things easier.
Always sweet and passionate about their home, we were absolutely floored discovering that Michael "Mikgiver" and Patricia built and designed every square inch of their home. So much love and creativity, and a blessing to enjoy this experience and to see some of the forthcoming projects unfold from Michael's studio.
For superior attention to detail, comfort and warm loving hospitality, we cannot offer a higher recommendation!
We are counting the days until we can return again! This is truly one of the hidden gems of Airbnb!
