The stay was really just what we needed to finish off our trip in Rio. The room was spacious, bright and air conditioned. We were given a nice breakfast in the mornings and enjoyed the views from the balcony. Chilling in the hammock in the morning sun or upon returning in the late afternoon was a highlight of the stay. The whole family were a pleasure to stay with even though our paths crossed mainly briefly and despite our limited Portuguese. Sergio gave us some great tips regarding places to go, and was ready to help out with advice if asked. The place was kept spotless on a daily basis. Would happily stay here again if we come back to Rio, only minutes away from the metro for day trips, easy access to Ubers and felt safe in the neighbourhood since it's along a main street. It was also walking distance from a few of the things we saw during the day like Sugarloaf mountain.
