I would stay here again.

The hosts were very friendly and explained everything to do in the area and where to go. It was in a great location right at the top of Escadaria Selarón. We could walk to Lapa and to Santa Teresa. Breakfast had a lot of options and you could order eggs to be made on the spot. They had filtered water and you could buy water bottles. The beds were comfortable. There is a locked door to get into the main area so it was nice to be secure.

It’s on a steep hill so not all Ubers will drive down the road. But you can walk to the top or bottom to get an uber. Room was very small, but worked well. Very small bathroom.

Hidden hilltop gem found in Casa Igba!

The hosts, Guilherme, Maiza, and their daughter, were exceptional. Very welcoming and friendly. The location is a block from the top of the Escadera Selaron, and also very close to an eclectic bar and restaurant scene in Santa Teresa. We also had an incredible view of the Gloria Bay from our window.

The only area of improvement I can find is with the shower/water heater. It was temperamental and would switch between cold and very hot often.

It is a very cozy place to stay, staff is very welcoming, we felt like at home! Highly recommended.

Breakfast was amazing - eggs that are fried upon request, cheese and ham, fresh juice, fruits, and sweets! And, of course, different kinds of bread.

Beautiful and cosy place between Santa Teresa and Lapa

Casa Igba is perfectly situated between Lapa and Santa Teresa, the best neighborhoods of Rio's center. The house is beautifully renovated and has only a few rooms so the atmosphere is very cosy. The owners live right next door and they were really kind and helpful. I loved the decoration, the rooms were beautiful, bright and comfy. The terrace has nice view too. The breakfast which was included was excellent, I missed it already. I will definitely recommend it!

Everything was perfect. Just keep in mind that there are stairs to reach the rooms and also stairs inside the rooms so people with mobility disabilities will find it difficult to move around.

Best stay in Rio!

The house is filled with a happy and friendly vibe from everyone. Great host, very good breakfast, comfortable rooms, lovely view over the city, a pool and clean cold water available for free. I can only recommend this place, and if we return to Rio, we will come back here again!

The house is located up a steep hill, so a bit of climbing is required. During the festival, the taxi drivers did not really want to go up there unfortunately.

Great place to stay in Rio

They are so friendly and it is a beautiful property with great views and an outdoor area.

When traveling back at night I would advise taking an Uber as it is a little distance from the metro

beautiful place in the old city near selaron steps.

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.

since the property is located on a hill, you have to either walk the selaron steps to get to it or the taxi has to drive uphill which can be tricky during rain.

Very beatiful b&b with the very best hosts!

It is like staying with family. The hosts are very friendly and accommodating and have great knowledge about Rio and Brazil. Guilherme arranged a cab for our early morning flight but drove us himself when the cab did not ring back when he double checked in the morning. They even provided us with breakfast in the middle of the night. Location is also perfect: right next to Escaderia Scelarón, trendy cafés and restaurant in 10 minute walk uphill. Feels safe especially if you are not alone. From the terrace you have an excellent view on Centro area and the house itself is really beautiful and you are allowed everywhere on the terrace, living room etc. Beds were good quality.

For us everything was wonderful. It is good to note for people that are not steady on their feet that the house is on a very steep street and has stairs and a mezzanine level in the room. For everyone else we totally recommend to stay here if you want to explore the Santa Theresa area.

Very helpful and welcoming owner and his wife made the stay greater than expected! The photos in Booking are not representative: in real life, the rooms and hotel look better!!

Guilherm, the host, is incredibly nice and helpful! He even let us make a laundry for free. The house is beautiful with many patios and resting places. It is very well located in santa teresa and close to lapa.

Such a beautiful place, but a bit hard to reach

The location is perfect for a few days in and around Santa Teresa. The house is so beautiful. The breakfast is great. Guilherme is very helpful. It's easy to feel like an old friend of the family!

If you want to spend a few days seeing other parts of Rio de Janeiro, you may find the early morning walk down the hill from Santa Teresa a bit cumbersome, not to mention the evening walk back up. I'd certainly recommend staying in Santa Teresa for a few nights if you have no problems climbing steep hills, but maybe not for eight nights like I did. In my room, I then had to climb a steep staircase to reach the bed which is in a loft above the rest of the room. I managed, also in the middle of the night, but it is a major inconvenience. Also, don't try to stand up next to the bed, or you might hurt your head on the low ceiling. I did, many times. There were mosquitoes but no mosquito nets.

The best

Everything from the rooms, the breakfast, the location but most of all Guilherme and his wife and staff made it special. Guilherme is so helpful and very knowledgeable on Rio, as well as the rest of Brazil, so can give great advice. Will stay here every time I visit Rio if possible!

There is nothing to dislike

Casa muito aconchegante e ótima localização

Ótima recepção. Os anfitriões são otimas pessoas, atenciosas, ótima localização, café da manhã impecável. So teve um incidente da agua que faltava em um dos dias, mas logo foi resolvido. Super indico. A gente fica super a vontade, como se estivesse em casa mesmo.

So da água mesmo que faltou um dia, mas logo resolveu. Creio que não irá se repetir

Me verás volver! Tu casa en Río 😎

Ambiente! Cada detalle en la casa es un 10. Amabilidad sin ser invasivos, paz en medio de la ciudad, además de la habitación varios espacios de uso común incluida una terraza con pileta y gran postal de RJ. Divino desayuno con musiquita y diversidad.

Nada que tenga que ver con la casa. Una pavada: no todos los Uber/99/taxis quieren "subir hasta ahí" pero con un rato de paciencia... Resuelto

Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt!

Casa Igba war die beste Unterkunft, die ich auf meiner Brasilienreise bewohnen durfte. Sie befindet sich im beliebten Künstlerviertel Santa Teresa rund eine Viertelstunde von der U-Bahn entfernt. Das Gästehaus bietet nicht nur ein phänomenales Frühstück, sondern auch lokale Tipps und sogar einen Wäscheservice. Es hat sich wirklich angefühlt als ob wir bei Freunden zu Gast waren.

Leider ist die U-Bahn rund 15 Minuten und 215 Treppenstufen entfernt. Das wird aber durch die tolle Aussicht vom Hügel wettgemacht.

Het was een hele fijne en veilige plek om de dag mee te starten en weer af te sluiten!

Het huis is erg leuk en speels, je voelt je er snel thuis. Het ontbijt was geweldig en de mensen heel aardig en lief. De locatie is-ondanks alle trappen op en af- heel prettig.

De bedden waren los en stonden op 2 verschillende verdiepingen. Dat wisten we niet. Het wastafeltje in de badkamer was klein en onhandig.

Absolute aanrader!!!

De accomodatie ligt in een veilige buurt met fijne bars en restaurants op wandelafstand (ook in het donker veilig te doen te voet). Het dakterras met zwembad is geweldig. Ook het ontbijt was heel uitgebreid (vers fruit, fruitsap, eieren, ...)! Ook de airco in de kamer was fijn. Goede matras en zalige douche. De host gaf ons ook tips over de veilige plekken in Rio en wat te doen en zien.

Excellent séjour dans une maison typique.

Logement agréable, chambre correcte et propre. Les communs sont joliment décorés dans une maison typique. Jolie vue de la terrasse. À quelques pas de l’escalier Selaron, de la cathédrale et du centre de la vieille ville. il est situé sur les hauteurs et nécessite de nombreuses marches pour y accéder. Ne convient pas aux personnes à mobilité réduite. Le petit déjeuner est complet avec des produits fait maison. Il est servi dans la pièce principale. Excellent choix nous ne regrettons pas.

Chambre un peu étroite ainsi que la salle de bain mais suffisant pour y dormir et y faire sa toilette. pas de TV dans la chambre mais cela ne nous a pas dérangé.

¡Volvería siempre!

La casa es hermosa, la habitación es muy cómoda y limpia (además de contar con una gran vista), el desayuno es excelente y Guilherme está atento a todos los detalles. Definitivamente, un lugar que tendré en cuenta si alguna vez vuelvo a Río de Janeiro. ¡Muy recomendable!

La casa en si es una obra de arte. Nos sentimos muy a gusto y gratamente sorprendidos. Se destacan el orden, limpieza, seguridad y comodidad. Guilherme es un anfitrión muy atento y amable, también Maiza nos hizo sentir bienvenidos.

Alojarte en un atelier con clase

Estadia perfecta en un lugar realmente maravilloso con vistas a la bahia desde la habitación o la piscina. Un barrio distinto y muy bohemio cerca del centro histórico. Tener en cuenta es necesario algo de estado fisico ya que se ubica en uno de los cerros de Rio.

La segunda impresion tambien cuenta.

El deesayuno estuvo bien. Siempre hay disponible agua para tomar, tienen ademas refrescos y cervezas en venta y a buen precio. 30 pasos bajando y llegas a las escaleras de selaron. Que de paso tienen las mejores caipiriñas y los mejores precios para comprar recuerditos. Los lunes el bar de la esquina tiene muy buen ambiente. En uber se puede movilizar muy bien desde casa igba. el mas caro fue el de ir a copacabana y costó 4 dolares. Guillerme es amable y habla muy bien el español.

Llegamos de madrugada y de camino, al pasar por lapa nos dió la impresión que el sector era muy inseguro y hasta peligroso, pero ya la segunda noche andabamos en la calle. Las calles son cuestas empinadas, aun me duelen las piernas de tanto andar. La habitacion sencilla con 2 camas tiene la segunda camita (twin) subida en un altico. No hay television.

Excelente opción en el histórico barrio de Santa Teresa

Casa con una excelente ubicación en el historico barrio de Santa Teresa, todas las instalaciones decoradas con un gran gusto, la cama muy cómoda y los desayunos soberbios. Guilherme ha sido un gran anfitrión, muy atento y comunicativo, un placer conversar con él. Nos dió muy buenas recomendaciones sobre visitas a realizar, dónde comer, dónde encontrar tiendas de artesanía... incluso al saber de mi interés por la música brasileña me buscó algunos discos para poder comprar. Una opción muy recomendable para alojarse en la parte alta de Río de Janeiro.

La única cosa que mejoraría un poco sería el aislamiento de las ventanas de nuestra habitación.
