Staying at Bruno's guesthouse was a perfect way to start off our time in Rio! 10 mins walk to Ipanema beach and an easy uber ride to all the sights.
The actual guesthouse is beautiful! We never felt unsafe in the area. Our room was like a hotel and Bruno was always around to help out with anything that was needed (with the help of google translate!). Breakfast was included which was a lovely touch! We were really appreciative of the hospitality shown to us, especially letting us check in early morning after our flight and giving us breakfast! We would highly recommend.
