Casa 48 is exactly where Airbnb is made for. Oh man what a great experience! The moment we entered the casa, after a good climb up to the favela, we were stunned by the view. Never in my life i stayed in a place with a breathtaking view like this. The rooms are simple, perfect for traveling and you even can have breakfast which you can grab in the kitchen, fresh orange juice, baked eggs or a simple marmalade sandwich. We booked just for one night, because Axel’s house was fully booked with international guests from Japan, California, France to Poland. A real melting pot. Because we liked it so much, we wanted to stay longer. So Axel did some 'hocus pocus' and there was the pop-up room, in the corner of the big living room. We loved it! There is so much to say about this fantastic 3 floor home, with several rooms for rent just a few minutes walking distance from the bohemian and cool Santa Teresa. Highly recommend com certeza!
