We enjoyed staying at Casa Laranja in the very spacious and beautiful room right in the heart of Santa Teresa. The room has a big terrace where you can enjoy your Açaí and pão de queijo from the little organic store next door.
Alexandre was a very kind and welcoming host.
We stayed in different parts of Rio and have to say this was the nicest neighborhood of all, friendly people and nice bars with live music. We would love to come back some day.
