Jennifer and Helcio's studio apartment is exactly as it is represented on the website - a pleasant, bright space with a magnificent view of Rio centro. It is located in the heart of Santa Teresa, a charming, lively district within walking distance of the center of Rio or Flamengo beach. The famous Parque das Ruinas, with its fabulous view of Rio de Janeiro is literally across the street from the house but the apartment is discreetly tucked away behind the house with its own private terrace overlooking Rio. Jennifer and Helcio were ideal hosts, always available to help us with transfers, recommendations etc. yet never imposing. We can certainly recommend this place highly!
