Geisa’s apartment is seriously beautiful with amazing views, lovely helpful neighbours and is a short walk down into Lapa and Gloria.
That said, it can be a little difficult to get around as Uber drivers do not like picking up and dropping off in Santa Theresa after a certain time, and the metro is down the hill in Glória.
Walking is possible during the day, but during the night it is not ideal as it is Rio. So keep this in consideration :)
