I stayed for a period of five weeks in this truly great apartment. I was already residing in Santa Teresa so knew the neighbourhood well. Great cost-value apartment, very light due to its position towards the sunrise, high ceilings and big windows. A separate bedroom with a comfortable and big bed, clean pillows and blankets, and a huge cabinet to store your clothes and gadgets. The living room is decorated in an elegant manner; the hammock is great asset too. A small balcony with a view over the centre of Rio and the big mountains of Teresopolis and Petropolis in the backdrop (during clear days). The kitchen is very well-equipped with everything you need to make a decent meal. A modern LG washing machine is included too. The bathroom has a hot shower that is heated by gas which simply makes showering a great experience. The apartment is on the top floor of a four-levels building with around 25 residential units. Santa Teresa is my favorite neighbourhood in Rio due to its bohemian lifestyle and monumental buildings. The apartment is also just a ten minutes walk from Lapa where you can find a multitude of supermarkets, bars, restaurants, drugstores, etc. The Gloria metro station is a 15 minutes stroll away. Never had an issue too with ordering an uber or dropping me off. Definitely will come back here when visiting Rio again.
