If you have the chance to stay here, absolutely do not miss out. This was hands down my best Airbnb experience (and I've had plenty of great ones). Miguel is kind, intelligent, humble, and so generous. He goes above and beyond the expected. The house is gorgeous with a lot of character and with breath-taking views of Rio. Santa Teresa is a gem of a neighborhood. It is a bit off the beaten path but don't let that stop you! There are plenty of buses that are constantly going right by his house to everywhere you'd want to go. Plus, it makes you feel like you are at home in a small neighborhood (with cafes, an adorable cinema, restaurants, bars) just moments away from the more tourist ridden sections of the city. Highly recommend.
