Exceeded our expectations in every way! We took in the most vibrant sunrises looking at Sugarloaf right from the balcony. The apartment is situated beautifully for a short walk to local restaurants, live music, the local trolly, shops, the park and the colorful Escaderia Seleron. We were even able to enjoy a fun and lively Bloco nearby at the end of Carnival. Furthermore, Matthias provides great suggestions on things to do and see within Santa Teresa and was very quick to reply anytime we had questions. Already recommending to friends!
