Absolutely incredible! We had a group of 9 stay at the house for a fun holiday and it was the perfect place. Alex was a wonderful host, very Thorough, and attentive to all of our questions. He even gave us a welcome bag full of goodies! The house is beautiful and is much bigger than it looks in the photos. It is well equipped with everything you could need including a pool, power plugs for every foreign socket, and fast WiFi. It’s located in the best part of Santa Teresa (the most charming neighborhood in Rio) next to restaurants, shops, bars and a grocery store. The area is super safe and Alex has taken every measure to make the villa feel extra secure. It would be a pleasure to stay again next time i am in Rio and I️ would definitely recommend it to anyone else visiting.
