Had the most wonderful time in Río. The house is absolutely amazing, unique and full of art. The location of the property is incredible, paradise in the middle of the Rain Forrest for sure, just 15 minutes by car from Baixo Gavea, and 20 minutes from Leblon and Ipanema.
A car is necessary.
André was not in Río during our stay but was always in contact threw airbnb.
Raul (Andres father) was the best host ever. Great guy! He helped us rent a car once we arrived and was always willing to help us with tips of where to go in the city.
I highly recommend this place and wish to come back soon!
