“I stayed a week at this beautiful guesthouse in Santa Teresa and it was fantastic. Hosts Bindu and her husband were so welcoming and gave great Rio tips. The location is walkable to everything yet quiet, and I felt safe even at night. The room was spacious and comfortable, and breakfast in the garden was delicious. I highly recommend it.”
