We loved our stay at Ricardo’s amazing apartment, he’s a perfect host. The apartment views are fantastic from brilliant sunrises to the splendour of the night lights of the city. A bit of energy was needed to tackle the steep hills and steps but it was worth the effort. We used the basic cooking facilities for breakfast but ate out in the nearby lively Lapa district most of the time where there are plenty of restaurants, cafes, bars and music venues. A great area to stay resulting in a very good experience.
