My group of friends and I stayed at Teresa’s beautiful penthouse for about a week in April during Carnival.
Leading up to our booking, communication was amazing with Teresa and any concerns I had were addressed immediately. She was always open for communication.
The place itself is a nice penthouse sitting right near Copacabana Beach with amazing views of the beach and surrounding mountains. We always felt safe here, and the condominium had a concierge and a gated door with it. It was also very spacious for 8 guys to stay in and it looks even better than the photos!
If you are booking this place just be aware there are minor things that need to be addressed, such as wear and tear on furniture and shelves, and not really a lot of amenities. Make sure you are prepared and bring your own hygiene needs. Other than that, you will be sure to have a great time here.
Side note: the outdoor jacuzzi hot tub was amazing
