Honestly, the best AirBnb experience I had so far. The house and location looked exactly as described by Axel. The house has not only breathtaking view but also very helpful host. Axel answered quickly and provided tips for the arrival. When we came he gave us map and explained in detail everything about the city what saved our time and energy, I really appreciate it!

Santa Teresa is really charming and authentic district (one of the "must see" things in Rio). I enjoyed being there but one may object that its a bit far from famous Copacabana or Ipanema.. The place is around 40 min by collective transport from there but the connection is easy and its fun to experience the bus drive down from the Santa Teresa hill. If 40 min seems to you long, I recommend to use Uber as it is very cheap in Rio (cost us around 5 dollars to Copacabana).
