“I think this guesthouse wins on hospitality; the host seems genuinely invested in ensuring a great stay, even providing flexible breakfast times. Its Santa Teresa location also strikes a nice balance: close to restaurants and bars, with views stretching to both the favela and Christ the Redeemer. It's a solid choice for a relaxed, personal experience in Rio.”
