SANTA TERESA
Santa Teresa is unique. No matter where you go, you will never find a place like this. It is a time resistant cultural melting pot a mixed bag of eclectic architecture and nature. Green is the color of this perfect slow town. No traffic lights, no service stations, no rush. It seems you had moved back in time. Going up the hill you will a chance to ride the turn of the century tram that still moves around the cobbled streets.
The famous boho and arty district is full of artists, musicians, performers, monkeys and birds. Santa has atmosphere of past in the heart of Rio. Why do artists always choose to be on top? During your stay you can visit museums, local studios and stores; eat at authentic Brazilian restaurants; enjoy the peace and quiet of this unique place.

LAPA
Lapa is the core nightlife in Rio with more than 30 different concerts every night. What is best, you are staying just 5 minutes away from it, a lot better than if you had stayed by the beach. No matter where you had been during the day, to the beach or to the soccer stadium, you will end up your night at Lapa.
During summer, the bustling streets pack with the most different tribes from all over Rio and the rest of the world. The white arches will be a long standing flash of memory in your mind. Lapa is a live mosaic of music, contacts and fun. It is the best place to meet locals and others.
