Staying with Theresa truly felt like a home away from home. We felt so lucky to be welcomed into her beautiful space and having a pool was such a blessing in the Rio heat!
The area is safe and walkable- especially important as a young woman travelling alone. Santa Teresa has its own carnival celebrations, beautiful bars and restaurants and gorgeous local artisan shops. It is a gem of a neighbourhood in the chaos of Río de Janeiro.
Theresa was communicative, so accommodating and an incredibly kind and thoughtful host. We hope we have made a friend here in Rio and cannot wait to make a point of staying here in the future!
