“Hospitality, grace and a wonderful view”
+I can't think of two better hosts than Carmen and Fernando. Their home is absolutely beautiful and it feels like you're doing a homestay with a Brazilian family. The kindness that they showed me is unparalleled and enough to replenish my faith in humanity even during these trying times! The home is stunning, really a classic place and very clean. I found the shared kitchen area to be impeccable. The location is ideal, just a few minutes from central Santa Teresa and only 10 minutes from Lapa. Didn't get to use the pool as it was raining, but enjoyed the stunning view of the city. Carmen shared a lot of history with me, about the house and the neighborhood. It's really like taking a step back in time, and it's a tremendous way to experience a living part of Brazilian history.
−I would absolutely stay here again, but would choose one of the lower level rooms as I had trouble with the narrow staircase and despite the AC, the upstairs room was a bit warm for me (though it was very hot outside during my visit).The internet could be stronger. I don't think these are issues aside from the small balcony room, which is for someone agile. But it's private and has amazing views!

+This place is a true gem. The house is amazing and inspiring filled with beautiful art. The room is like a hidden space that you enter through a tiny staircase. Very romantic with spectacular views of Rio. Carmen and Fernando were the most lovely hosts. We felt at home and they even took us to a samba party during the carnaval. The area is very charming with beautiful old mansions and hip places

“Ce lieux est vraiment une pépite, niveau qualité/ prix y’a pas mieux ! On s’y sent bien et on serez bien rester plus”
+On a passé un superbe séjour ici ! 😍 L’emplacement est au top, c’est génial d’être au quartier résidentiel magnifique de Santa Tereza. Il y a une bonne ambiance, des fresques et graffitis tout en étant en hauteur de la ville. Carmen, est la meilleure hôte et la plus accueillante possible. Alors qu’on est arrivées super en avance avec notre bus, elle a pris le temps de nous donner pleins de conseils, d’explications, les choses à faire et endroits où aller et quels chemins prendre. 🥰🙏Sa maison est magnifique, coloré avec pleins de petites jolies décos, son mari était peintre et a donné une belle âme artistique à la maison. Il y a une terrasse avec une belle vue sur la baie de Rio. Une piscine qui est hyper agréable quand on rentre tout moite des journées dans Rio, ou pour faire des journées chill à la maison. Puis il y a superbe cuisine véranda équipée où on a pu se faire nos repas souvent et se poser manger sur la terrasse. Carmen est resté présente pendant le séjour en présentiel avec ses précieux conseils et aussi par whatsApp. Notre chambre et salle de bain était très bien, il est aussi possible d’obtenir un service pour le linge sale. Merci pour tout 🫶🙏
