Da Lapa Design Hotel, a Friendly Accommodation in the Heart of Lapa

On our second day in Brazil, we flew from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro. We had three days to explore the city. We stayed in Lapa, which is a nice neighborhood with impressive structures and beautiful architectures. Lapa is also a good place for nightlife and cultural events. There are many restaurants and bars around. We stayed at Da Lapa Design Hotel. It was our home for three nights and our base in exploring Rio de Janeiro.
