Wonderful
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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

airy rooms; sublime sight- and soundscapes; super-friendly hosts; perfectly ripe fruit in the tasty breakfast

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.

Really liked the B&B, and the breakfast was amazing. The hosts were super friendly and helped us try to locate some transfers for us. The immediate area was safe in the evening, but don't walk the wrong direction.
It was so hard to get a taxi or uber to pick us up from the location because of the hills, and this made staying there feel unsafe if we were going outside of the region. Some people griped about having to climb stairs/hills to get there but it's just more about the safety in the area. I wouldn't go to Rio again, but if we did, others suggested us to stay in the south side.

Great room, air conditioning, great views, easy communication
When it rains, Uber refuses to go up the hill which needs to be considered. Otherwise, over New Year there and all went very well, just take the necessary precautions :-)

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.
