Patricia's place was the perfect place to stay in the know of the bustling city of Rio, but to relax at the end of the day. Her house sits on a hill in Santa Teresa--an artistic neighborhood with some of the best restaurants and street art. Make sure to check out the tram on a weekday and to visit some of the artist studios in the neighborhood. The only tricky thing about staying here was flagging down an Uber because a lot of drivers would cancel their ride on us since the roads up to Patricia's home is very steep and twisty. However, this wasn't a big issue because her place has the most incredible views of the city. Patricia was also so sweet and responsive, not only did she let us check-in earlier, but she also let us keep our bags in her garage after our check-out time. She also recommended some great restaurants and sites to see, as well as a same-day COVID-19 testing center for us to get results for our flight back to the U.S.!
