The view from the balcony, honestly unreal!!
Matthias’ place looks just like the photos and is a great place to stay while in Rio. Great recommendations for local restaurants and attractions, very responsive and helpful too. From the apartment it is quick to get into town via an uber/taxi. Santa Teresa is beautiful and authentic, be prepared for hills if you’re walking but the views are always worth it! We felt safe and at home in the apartment. Would highly recommend staying here!
