I spent two months in Aymeric’s apartment up in the hills of Santa Teresa. The unit is thoughtfully decorated, and it was a joy to wake up above the tree line. Had a few issues the first couple weeks due to unusually heavy rains in the area, but Aymeric and Victor were quick to resolve them. Smooth sailing after that. I recommend staying in Santa to experience a beautiful side of Rio that feels a world away from the beach neighborhoods, but in reality is just a short metro or Uber ride away — this unit provides an authentic version of life in the neighborhood. Obrigado Aymeric e Victor!
