Ion and Sheila were the most wonderful hosts...bringing us to do a food shop on Day 1, giving us a tour of Santa Teresa and especially in helping me contact the airline who had lost my bag and then staying in and waiting for it to be delivered so we didnt have to. Their place has a real authentic style and it was lovely to relax by the pool looking out at Christ the Redeemer and the monkeys after a day of sight-seeing. The location is great and the weekend street bbqs on the square (20 metres from the house) were a real highlight. Santa Teresa is a great area to stay in, we felt very safe and had lots of great bars and restaurants on our door step. I would love to get the chance to go back and stay with Ion and Sheila again.
