We loved our stay at Andrea’s place: the apartment is beautiful with an amazing view over Rio, the kitchen is perfectly equipped, the bed very comfy and everything super clean. The location is also great, close to a lot of bars and restaurants in charming Santa Tereza. The next Metro station is a 15-20 minutes walk down the hill, or a 5 minute Uber/Mototaxi ride. Andrea and Walter were super nice and welcoming hosts, they gave us a lot of local advice and were very flexible with check-in and check-out. I totally recommend their apartment.
