name: Charming old house in Rio
description: Spacious house with open varanda, view of the bay, near downtown and subway/buses access to Rio's choiciest areas. Room not so large but use of common areas possible.<br /><br /><b>Guest access</b><br />All (except, my room)<br /><br /><b>Other things to note</b><br />Being a house in a favela-leading street, occasionally large-sized cockroaches come in fro the outside. Usually, after climbing the huge wall they arrive half-dead. The charm and coziness of the place far outdo such inconveniences.<br /><br />One can cook, use all spaces. it is a house I live in and receive my own guests. It is expected that guests clean up after themselves. Norwegian style. <br /><br />Absolutely no taking twills to the beach. I can purchase towels specifically for that purpose.
