Cesar's place was has described.
Please note not kid friendly. Has spiral steps to get upstairs so definitely not for the weak kneed lol. The location is great, close to local eats, restaurants, bars, supermarket and shopping. Getting around is fairly easy and there is a taxi station a block up. The views that you get nightly of the Redeemer Statue are everythinggggg! Take it in it is lovely! Having an outside area was great, pool was nice to have for ourselves; can def get great pics from pool of the mountains! Being by the Logoa was a plus also; active park with a lot going on and people doing their own thing; A bike rid around it is about an hour give or take. At night it pretty quiet probaly had something else in my head but it is peaceful didn't have any problems at night and def had 2am mornings. By taxi fairly easy to get to the Lapa steps, Central, shopping Leblon (Mall), and sugar loaf mountain along with the Redeemer Statue. You can walk, bike or taxi to with either beach it gets packed at Copacabana. Patricia is lovely! Doesn't speak English but she is always willing to talk through translator. Just let her know what time you want her to come in the morning; she is not a bother at all and always announces herself especially if she needs to come upstairs. Her breakfast in the morning is a great way to start your morning/day...and let her make you the Caipirinha definitely a drinking delight! Cesar as a host is understanding, patient and has great suggestions. Thanks for this Cesar as you helped with our hiccups in the best way possible! Hope to stay once again in the future! tchau till the next time!
