Amazing energy in this apartment Real Rio neighborhood

“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.

Fantastic place to stay in Rio! In an ideal location, walkable to restaurants and bars in both centro and Santa Teresa. Beautiful spacious house, lovely staff and a great breakfast.

Great house with a beautiful garden/terrace above Lapa with a view over the centre and right next to the famous stairs. Very friendly hosts and delicious breakfast served in a very cosy and tastefully furnished living room. Highly recommended.

“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!

A most beautiful and highly charming place! The rooms are simple and convenient. There's only four of them, so the atmosphere is highly relaxed and relaxing – also due to the very sweet host. Wonderful breakfast and amazing view of central Rio and the bay from the room window and the hotel terrace. Highly recommended!

“Amazing and so sad to leave!”

The hosts, Guilherme and Maiza were really warm and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them and the staff. The house and garden were beautiful, full of interesting art and places to relax. We stayed in a double room with a mezanine bedroom and balcony with street views. We loved our room, the bed was so comfy and the shower great! Initially we were a bit unsure about choosing Santa Teresa as it was not on the coast but it turned out to be the perfect location with cobbled streets and an arty bohemian vibe. Lots of interesting shops and places to eat. We were always happy to return at the end of the day. Selaron steps are around the corner from Casa Igba and the metro station is a short walk to easily get to beaches. Guilherme put us in touch with a great tour operator and arranged local taxis to visit the main attractions. It felt like home and we would struggle to stay anywhere else ever again! Thank you Guilherme and Maiza.

“Satisfying .. it was a hot & busy period pre carnival!”

The breakfast was wonderful laid out v elegantly with real napkins, fresh coffee or tea, varied fruits & breads as well as 3 different appliances to toast or warm the former Also home baked treats such as coconut cake & brownies , juice & eggs as desired …

What an unique and lovely place!! Everything in this house is so special including the warm welcome! We had a awesome view from our room! I‘d love to come back! Santa Teresa at it‘s best!!!

The best booking stay i've had and i've had them a lot. The most charming house, feels like the one from the movies od south america. All the details, the music playing really puts you in the vibe of Brasil. Hosts are great, helpfull and careing. Can't recomend this place enough.

“Highly recommend this place!”

Great room, air conditioning, great views, easy communication

“Hidden gem at Santa Teresa.”

Very nice location close up to historical tramway and pleasant walks through Santa Teresa. Very close to Escandaria Selaron and further to Arcos da Lapa and downtown. Beautiful views from the property. Delicious breakfast. The property is full of interesting artworks. It's clear that someone took time and efforts to make it nice.

The atmosphere was eclectic and flowed well from inside to outside.

Every single thing. Everything was amazing.

“a great B&B to say at”

The breakfasts swerved were delicious and plenty full. Loved the servings of fresh local fruits. There are many areas , in the house, so sit and relax including a pool to cool off. The hosts were very helpful in providing tourist information. The location in Santa Teresa was perfect and close to restaurants , the famous Escardia Seleron and tram.

Wonderful house with a welcoming atmosphere. Beautiful Space to start discovering Rio.

“Absolutely excellent. Highly recommend - the hosts were amazing and went above an beyond!”

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.

“The best place to stay in Rio!”

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!

“We felt really at home at Casa Igba and are so pleased we stayed there. We would highly recommend Casa Igba!”

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.
