"Breakfast was great"

"The staff was very helpful and kind, we had an issue with the AC and it was solved in less than a day. "

"Place was great! The folks that run it are awesome. It’s a bit tough to get to and get out of. Overall awesome. Taking off a star because it was advertised that the balcony was private, but it is in fact a bar going as late as 10pm. "

"First off, this is a favela, and it’s amazing. The views are unreal, the space is comfortable, and it’s easy to just stay here all day and not want to leave. That said, it *is* still a favela, so come prepared. If you have multiple bags, use Google Translate to arrange a motorbike or van to get up the hill. Ubers can take a while and often stop running around midnight. My stay was incredible. I didn’t realize breakfast was included every morning, and the family here is so welcoming and kind, above&beyond. On my first day they were having a barbecue and invited me to try traditional foods like maionese and churrasco. Later we went to a bloco party together and they made sure I felt safe the entire time. There are community rules, and the hosts clearly explained where to go and what areas to avoid. I genuinely felt safe and cared for. There’s a strong sense of community here. There are different room types with or without AC. I chose a non AC room. It was a little hot during the day but not unbearable. Pro tip: the rooftop is cooler and doubles as a lounging and viewing deck. I also didn’t know how to turn on the hot water at first, so ask for a quick walkthrough. If you prefer very modern, sturdy bathroom fixtures, this may not be the best fit. This is not something you can experience through a tour. To understand the warmth and daily life of a favela, you have to live in it. If you’re open minded and prepared, this stay is truly special. <3 Thank you for all the hospitality "
