This has been one of my best Airbnb-experiences; this charming little house beside a bigger one where the rest of the family lives is exactly as described, situated in the authentic and safe Rio neighborhood of Santa Teresa where life seem to have been unaffected by its popularity. We could easily spend a whole day at the house just hanging out in the garden with the spectacular view, chilling in the hammocks. The proximity to downtown definitely has its perks, and the bed was really comfortable!

Diana and Abel were such awesome and generous hosts, it was like visiting old friends! They were always available for any questions or just for hanging out, helped us find out info about activities in town and booked taxis. They even picked us up at the domestic airport and stocked up on breakfast stuffs even though none of it was supposed it be included. They have my warmest recommendations!
