This is truly a wonderful place to stay in the heart of Copacabana, Arpoador, and Ipanema. The house is a fully renovated guesthouse, with gorgeous design details inside and out. The rooms are superbly clean and comfortable and the multiple inviting terraces (with an incredible view) make it hard to leave! The breakfast each day was extremely generous and Jardel and Bruno were great hosts. The only thing I would emphasize and be realistic about is that this house sits on a hill that is right at the entrance of the Cantagalo favela. It requires a fair bit of uphill walking, whether from steps (which lead right to a subway station so very convenient) or up a hilly street. If that is something you won't mind, this is a perfect place to stay!
