De locatie is geweldig, midden in de leuke wijk Santa Teresa en op loopafstand van vele bezienswaardigheden. Het uitzicht is fenomenaal. De appartementen zijn groot, schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. De communicatie met de host ging heel soepel en je krijgt echt enorm snel antwoord. Vooral het appartement met het grote balkon is erg fijn, omdat je met z'n vieren buiten kunt zitten en een grote eettafel hebt binnen met prachtig uitzicht.
Helemaal niets viel tegen. Maar als je vraagt wat er nóg beter kan, dan zou het fantastisch zijn als er iets van koffie/thee/flesje wijn in huis zou zijn. De prijs van het appartement is heel redelijk, dus de kosten van die extra's zouden van mij aan de gast doorberekend mogen worden.

I stayed in two of the rooms because I extended my stay and the first room was unavailable.
The wifi in the upstairs room was exceptional. I’d been slowly uploading GoPro footage on terrible wifi for 3 weeks at this point and had a massive backlog which rapidly got smaller. Very pleasantly surprised. The view is amazing, and the photos are accurate (but of course don’t do it justice!)
Entry to the property and the room is code/touchpad, and it looks to be a really sophisticated locking system. I certainly had no worries about security when I heard it whirring as it automatically locked.
Both rooms were perfectly clean. Host was very helpful, available, responsive and communicative.
Two sleek and efficient washing machines in the entrance area.
It’s easily walkable into the Centro district, the neighbourhood is very quirky, “bohemian”, arty. There are a lot of cool-looking people outside cool-looking bars at the bottom of the hill.
I hadn’t realised how high up it was when I booked. The cobbled streets are steep enough to make walking down some of them quite difficult, let alone up (which I didn’t even bother trying). It’s not a dangerous neighbourhood in my experience (10 or 11 nights), but being so far away from other people or a police presence is enough to make you aware that you’re pretty vulnerable when walking around. I definitely stayed in worse places in Brazil, but this neighbourhood feels pretty isolated, and I’d love to have explored it more but thought it wise not to.
The upstairs room had a really bad problem with tiny ants, and I quickly realised I’d have to store everything (including chewing gum, tobacco) in the fridge. But still, every time I picked something up off the counter they’d be disturbed and run everywhere. Not a cleanliness issue, but really annoying.
The wifi signal in the downstairs room was so faint it was almost unusable.
I had to buy my own bin bags and washing up liquid because there weren’t any spares in the rooms. There’s a charge for leaving dirty dishes and I would have expected some to be provided. I used it once on my last day (in each room) and left the bottle and the roll of bags behind.
There was no hot water in the sinks so I had to boil the tiny kettle a few times before I could wash up.
The way this site formats reviews means they have to end with the bad things, but I’ll bring it back round and say I enjoyed my stay overall.

As it was mentioned before, by others, the view is great and the owner is very efficient in solving any kind of issues or answering fast all the questions that might come up.
Worth a stay here!

The view is amazing, the apartment is very cozy and clean! We absolutely liked the location on the rather quiet street with the few good bars within walking distance.

During my trip to Rio i have changed several locations, from 5 star Hotels to private apartments, so i can feel the vibe of the city better. Casa do Gato was on my list and definitly Worth staying here.
First , if you re looking for accomodation in Santa Tereza area, this is the place to stay. For us, was amazing to have breakfast with this stunning view, see the sun rising, and having this view to Sugaloaf, right from the living room.
The apartament is spacious, clean and comfy. Even if you don t want to stay in Santa Tereza when in Rio, i think it s worth it at least few nights. It is walking distance to Lapa area (where all the night life is in the weekend) , Escadaria Seralon, and the Cathedral of Rio (amazing, must see).
And last, but not least, the Host is very nice, good english (which in not that comun in Rio) and willing to help us with anything. Very good Customer service. The street is safe, also the building.
it is not close to the Copacabana and ipanema beach, with uber is like 20 min. ( anyway Uber is very cheap in Rio ,it is around R$20~4 USD )

Very nice apartment, the view is amazing. Location is good, close to lapa neighborhood but its a very steep walk back. Our host was very friendly and helpful with everything.

It was a great place and that view every morning was just priceless. The apartment is well equipped, the kitchen has everything so you can buy in the supermarket and cook without any problem, also the laundry for washing and drying very complete.
Matthias was such a supportive host, and the neighbours too. The neighbourhood it’s really quite, you can go drink and come back walking any time without worries. It’s close to touristic spots however, it requires a little bit of hiking to get back to the house by walking because it’s on the top of Santa Teresa (I loved it) but some people don’t. I will definitely staying there again.

Amazing view! Nice and spacious room.
Perfect spot in an attractive neighborhood (we lived in Rio, so we know some places)
Having laundering utility also further helps.
Attentive host. I can only praise and thank it.
Nothing. Everything was perfect.
Only one thing is that we prefer real keys instead of opening with QR code, which obliges you to carry your phone always and it takes a few moments to open. But that is our preference, and we understand it might help improving security.
