Ludimila is a really switched on person, cultured and always in a good mood, which to me, goes hand in hand with those choosing the Santa Teresa neighborhood. I grew up in Rio myself, visiting back after many years living in Australia and felt very at home in her house. The apartment is cozy, stylish, urban, and central, allowing me to move everywhere around town despite being in one of the oldest and highest parts of the city. Staying with Ludimila was a rich “living with a local” experience. Loved it. I’ll be back for sure.
