My boyfriend & I stayed at CCB for 5 nights. The owners were SO extremely helpful - for getting around Rio, what days to avoid the tourist landmarks, where to go, how to get there, etc. I can't say enough good things about this place. They speak ENGLISH, which helps :) The B&B is just about the cutest place to... More

Casa Cool Beans is so very deserving of the top spot on Tripadvisor. If you stay anywhere when in Rio, you have to stay here. From the first moment we walked through the door (at a very antisocial hour of the night), we were made to feel at home with champagne in our room and we could not have asked... More
