Stayed at Lucy’s top floor private unit during carnival. House is very close to main squares in Santa Teresa with great bars and little shops. Apartment has an awesome view overlooking Santa Teresa and the sambodroma. Lucy was a great host and very friendly. She took us on a little tour of the area when we arrived pointing out some interesting facts of the neighbourhood and where to go for lunch. Easy to walk down the hills and grab a cheap Uber if your looking to get to other parts of Rio. Thanks Lucy!
