We really loved our stay in Carola's homely apartment. It was beautifully decorated, spacious, well equipped for cooking, quiet and very clean. It felt cosy to come back to at the end of every day. The location was excellent as we spent a lot of time in Santa Teresa and found it easy to get around Rio via the nearby steps to Gloria, and getting Ubers in the evening. I would highly recommend a stay in Carola's apartment, and would happily choose it again next time.
