I wanted to stay near Centro for my final days in Rio, and Bruna's place totally fit the bill! I had heard about the quaint hilly Santa Teresa neighborhood earlier, and thought it'd be fun to spend a few nights here. I was happy I did.
While I didn't get into the Santa Teresa nightlife nor did I really eat out nearby, I can affirm that the neighborhood was fun, quaint, and super family friendly. Be prepared to walk up some hills though on your way back!
André was super nice and communicative, and met me at the Airbnb to let me in and show me the ins and outs of the place. Everything was clean and the living room was absolutely gorgeous. The main bedroom leaves a bit to be desired, but it was nice and got the job done.
