About this place casaJOMO B&B (ex-Casa Cool Beans) – 18+

Casa Cool Beans is a B&B in a bright purple, tile-roofed house in Santa Teresa, Rio's hillside arts neighbourhood. It's a mainstream, gay-friendly guesthouse, not a gay one. Rooms are individually decorated with en suite bathrooms, free Wi-Fi and minifridges, and there are no TVs. Some have hardwood floors and beamed ceilings, and two duplex rooms have sleeping lofts. A breakfast buffet is served daily. Santa Teresa is hilly and quiet at night, so take app taxis after dark. Lapa is downhill, Copacabana is about 9 km away, and Ipanema's gay beach area at Rua Farme de Amoedo is further.

An immersive experience in a mansion in Santa Teresa that is also a cultural center.

Newly renovated cultural center offering a variety of physical and cultural activities. The library is very inviting and offers book loans upon registration, as well as educational and cultural activities; I must highlight the excellent service provided by the librarians.

We went there through our guide who was leading the tour in Santa Teresa. I had never heard of Laurinda before, I'll research her more. I found her story very interesting. A very beautiful and pleasant place.

It is a beautiful building, but there is nothing much to see. You can read about and see some history behind this building. This building is also open for exhibitions or to display art. I went on the day that they were hosting a play. It was quite interesting, even though I could not understand anything. The staff were nice and friendly. There is a coffee shop there as well. If you want, you can take a rest here—it has a good vibe.

Hidden gem round the corner from Benjamin Constant house... Lovely welcome from bilingual staff who showed us round the exhibitions and were knowledgeable and enthusiastic about local culture. Really please we dropped in!

Beautiful place, very pleasant, quiet and calm. The library there is amazing, and it was really cool. The staff are exemplary, the place is clean, it has free restrooms and water fountains, not to mention that the architecture, wow, is beautiful, it's a mix of past and future, the garden is pleasant and very well maintained, and there's also a very small food fair above the Library. And a detail, the Cultural Center is very close to a tram stop (the one in Santa Teresa). Visit the Cultural Center sometime, and I hope you have as incredible an experience as I did.
