Antonio's place was great for us! We are a young couple trying to enjoy the most of what we can get and his place was lovely, cozy, clean and located in a great area of Santa Teresa. Metro station is just about 12-15 minutes walk, buses are all nearby and you can even get moto-taxis at the corner. We felt safe in his house and Antonio was always very friendly and helpful, he offered to go show us the carnival rehearsals, he recommend a couple of places to dine in, some bars as well as directions to get to places. Antonio is a great host!
We recommend you stay there, he also has two friendly cats! Enjoy!
