This is a classic spacious old house in a terrific, safe, fun and not too touristic Rio neighborhood. Perfect for kids, with the Jardim Botanico, Hipodromo, shopping mall, cafes, playgrounds, Leblon and the beach all within walking distance- plus easy access to buses all over the city (once you get the hang of them!) Patrick is a great host, very helpful and always quick to respond. Obrigado Patrick!
