Alex is a brilliant host and was very responsive to our messages.
The house is beautiful and has amazing views of rio from the heart of Santa Teresa. It was perfectly located to get to everywhere quickly in a taxi. However, whilst we loved the house and the historic charm the house really fell short in terms of cleanliness. We understand the difference between old ‘colonial charm’ and unclean and unfortunately the house left a lot to be desired in terms of upkeep and cleanliness.
We had a great time but this property would benefit from a good clean.
