Really great host and room! Stayed for a month in Peter's house in Jardim Botanico. Peter was very helpful, and someone is always at the house for guests. The location is very good, possibly one of the safest locations in Rio. Very close walk to the Jardim Botanico gardens (5mins away) and close to bars, supermarkets, gym e.t.c. Also very good location for those visiting IMPA (as I was) which is about 15 mins walk up the hill. The room, although small, has all the necessary requirements, and is part of a very large house. The room is well ventilated, and has a fan to keep it cool. The bathroom was very nice; the toilet is NOT the traditional Brazilian type (which struggles to flush toilet paper) which I was grateful for! A washing machine is near the room, and plenty of drying racks available. The living space near the room is fully open, looking out on a view of Rio. The kitchen upstairs is nice, with a water filter which is necessary in Brazil. The apartment is very safe, front door is always locked. Really enjoyable stay, will be staying here again if I'm ever visiting IMPA again. Cheers Peter.
