We stayed at Ricardos Place for a weekend and were warmly welcomed. All the tips concering the local area were awesome! The appartment is great and well equipped. Especially the view from the terrace is brilliant! We enjoyed the sunsets with a glass of wine from "our" place instead of sharing limited space with all the other tourists on the Ponte Luis 1 oder at the Jardim do Morro. We can highly recommend the stay at Ricardos Place, as we would book again without any doubts.
