name: Room with shower in house near centre of Rio
description: Our house has a large veranda and is surrounded by trees but close by the lively Bohemian area of Lapa with its many varieties of music, bars and restaurants. Nearby are buses to beaches and the metro stations and city centre easy walking distance.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />Our house is a perfect base for Rio carnaval. It is near all the city centre blocos and easy walking to the metro.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />Guests have easy access to the city centre and to Lapa, hi-speed internet, own shower/bathroom and full access to the kitchen with utensils, pots & pans etc and to the clothes washing machine.<br /><br /><b>Other things to note</b><br />There are three flights of stairs up the house from the street gate . Also we have dogs which are not officially allowed inside the house, but roam freely outside. They are quite friendly but bark when people arrive at the house as dogs do. If you have mobility problems or aversion to dogs, this is not the place for you!
