So Interesting
This B&B organization is based out of the Santa Teresa neighbourhood in Rio de Janeiro. I had a fantastic, comfortable, fun and cheap experience, including cultural attractions. How does it work? According to your needs, Cama e Café family homes recommends a family for you to stay with, in a private room with breakfast. Taking advantage of the wonderful architecture of Santa Teresa, it has found a way to collaborate with the locals of the neighbourhood, allowing you to interact with local people, and stay in a beautiful place. The houses are usually amazing. I was fortunate to stay at 'Casa da Manoela' with a journalist and charming tour guide.
