We were made to feel instantly welcome on arrival and Adam and Natalia went out of their way to accommodate our needs-making the room available for us early and finding out local information. We felt very much at home and enjoyed having breakfast prepared for us.

The house is beautiful- very tastefully decorated with Brazilian artwork. We had large rooms and a balcony with the most amazing views of Cristo Redemptor and Sugar loaf. It stayed pleasantly cool even on the hot days we had.

It is in a residential location some distance away from shops and restaurants so plan ahead to buy food for evening meals and to avoid rush hour traffic when returning to the house. The bus ride is an exhilarating experience!
