I had a wonderful time at Miguel's place. He's is simply amazing --very sweet and genuine, and ready to help in any way available. I'm glad I had the chance to meet him!
The house is beautiful, with a fantastic view of Rio, and with all the amenities you may need while staying there. Santa Teresa is a calm, old neighborhood, perfect to switch off from the busy life of the city, but well located enough to move around easily.
Miguel's place is a little secret, explore it if you have the chance!
