Sergio is an excellent host, he made me feel welcome in his home and offered great advice and local knowledge even taking me for a walk around the local area and favela on my first morning there. He has lots of great insights and stories about life in Rio.

The room itself is quite small but more than sufficient and has a stunning view of the christ statue (you can see it while laying in bed). The essentially private terrace has plenty of space with a decent sized pool.
