Michael made our stay in Rio simply spectacular. It was our first time to Rio and he made the city seem familiar with his hospitality and good advice. The apartment was clean and inviting. We had plenty of fresh towels, pillows, and filtered water on tap - always refreshing after a long day of exploring. The apartment is perfectly located in the heart of Santa Teresa, an artsy, bohemian neighborhood, with the Metro (Gloria), Selaron Steps, Carioca Aqueduct, and many museums minutes away.

Before our trip we debated whether to stay in Santa Teresa or closer to Copacabana and Leblon. After staying in Michael's apartment we quickly realized we made the right choice! We will definitely return!
