Varandão is an incredibly special AirBnB -- located in the heart of Rio's Santa Teresa neighbourhood and steps away from Lapa, bars, restaurants, etc.
The space itself is tasteful and feels like a treetop oasis with a marvellous view of the downtown core, the sea, and out to Niteroi across the bay. The photographs do not fully do it justice.
This is one of my favourite AirBnBs in which I have ever stayed. Highly recommended!
