A small walk uphill to Marcelo’s place opens up a magnificent view to the bay. The house is beautiful and the pool is a definite plus after a sweaty day in Rio.
Marcelo and his wife are friendly and accommodating. That made us feel right at home.
The house is within walking distance to Santa Teresa and Lapa. Also, the metro is very close. Our room was a small studio with a small kitchen that allowed us to prepare breakfast and dinner.
