A cozy flat with an incredible view of Rio. Drawbacks include a thin, uncomfortable mattress (placed on top of a desk); a small bathroom; a weak air conditioner, and a remote location (be prepared to walk!). Joao and his sister were wonderful to correspond with; they made sure we had access to the property on the day of our arrival, as well as an easy and convenient departure. I would recommend this property for those interested in a truly unique home-away-from-home in charming, eccentric Santa Teresa.
