Very nice and quiet house up in the wooded heights of Paineras/Cosme Velho. The garden and its view are astonishing.

Getting to Rio from the house is a piece of cake, since three bus lines depart a hundred meters from the your door. The waiting time hardly exceeds a few minutes. Going back home at night is a task better suited for taxi drivers, however be sure to memorize the neighborhood map in order to guide them up there, as they sometimes can get confused past Cosme Velho's rodoviaria.

The neighbourhood can sometimes be a bit noisy at night (loud music/samba from the favela I guess).

Nevertheless, this is the perfect spot for a calm, stylish, and comfy stay in Rio. Thanks Fernando.
