Great location, the house is super cool looking and I loved our loft bed (not so convenient if drunk or pregnant I suppose haha). The host is super friendly and helpful and he recommended a list of some great Brazilian music artists to us after we showed interest. They also did our laundry for free which was super nice! We especially loved the breakfast! It was amazing! And the music really adds to it :) Going up the hill was a bit of a workout so be prepaired for that. Would love to stay again!

Loved everything about this place. Beautiful, comfortable home in great location. Lots of areas inside and out for relaxing. The host was extremely helpful, especially all of his attention in helping us locate our luggage that did not make it on our flight.

very nice location, just a block from the famous painted selaron staircase. the owner was very nice and helpful with a lot of information and helped in arranging a taxi. they opened their kitchen so I could warm my food and help myself. the house is very nice and artfully decorated. the breakfast was very nice and sumptuous with fruits, juices, breads and coffee etc.

The host and the staff were absolutely excellent. They were so helpful and really went above and beyond. They helped us order Ubers and told us the best restaurants to go to and attractions to visit. They were the best hosts we have ever experienced

We spent a wonderful week at Casa Igba, a place where I felt at home and like at a museum at the same time. A tastefully decorated place with paintings, many books and areas to relax. The host is very nice and helps you with any information you need. In addition, it can recommend more than the touristy places to visit, such as local art galleries. The location is nestled in a bohemian neighborhood, and the view over the city is very beautiful.

Amazing place, beautifully decorated in a nice neighborhood just a short walk from Santa Teresa. We felt safe. Great value stay during Carnaval, breakfast was beautiful, nice variety and the rooms were extremely comfortable, highly recommend!

Guilherme, the owner, was brilliant- he made us feel right at home and really looked after. He gave us lots of helpful information about the local area, and a highlight was breakfast- it was delicious, every day! Guilherme was also very accommodating with us with our check in time and doing breakfast earlier so that we could eat before going out early for a tour. Our room was spotlessly clean, and the aircon was great. We loved the view from our balcony and also from the roof/outside areas. The house was arty and interesting, and we enjoyed meeting other travellers over breakfast. We also didn’t have any issues with safety in this location.

Gorgeous historic casa in the lovely location of Santa Teresa in Rio. Plenty of downstairs room to use as well as the bedroom. There is one large bedroom (‘the red room’) with double bed and wonderful views. The other 3 rooms are small with single beds, some with one bed up on a mezzanine. Very nice helpful owner who speaks good English.

This place is really a little paradise in Rio. All is clean, commun parties are very welcoming. The terrace is lovely, The view is beautiful. Owners welcome you in a simple but very nice way, they make all to for your stay to be a good moment. Charming people. Special mention to the delicious breakfast. I’ve been to several hostel in my life, this one is really on my top 3. You could come to Rio just for Casa IGBA! Just be aware that it’s nearly at the top of a harsh slope, so if you are not at least a bit fit, you will struggle to climb.
