We were a little undecided about which neighborhood to stay in and were glad to have picked Santa Teresa, which retains a lot of the Old Rio feel. The flat was as advertised, everything worked -- good shower, excellent wifi connection, washing machine, smart tv, comfortable beds, etc. -- and Michael is an excellent host, discreet but readily available to answer questions, and he's very knowledgeable about the neighborhood and Rio in general. We'd be happy to stay at his place again.
