Flávio, his mother, and Erike made me feel very welcome and it was great that they were available to answer my questions about the house and traveling around Rio. The second best part of staying at Flávio's house is the location. It is a block from some fun bars and restaurants and a short walk to the Metro stop. You can even walk up into Santa Teresa.

It's also really nice that the room has it's own private fridge, TV, and AC.
