“In Santa Teresa, this guesthouse stands out for its prime location close to Lapa and Maria Tereza, convenient to many sights, restaurants and bars. While some rooms share a bathroom, the accommodations are reportedly very clean and comfortable. I noted that it is a solid choice, particularly if you want to immerse yourself in the heart of Rio during Carnival.”
