Staying at Amala's place was an opportunity to taste the day to day life in Brazil. It's easy to communicate with Amala in English when you don't speak Carioca/Portuguese. Here hospitality makes you feel at home part of 'cosmic' family as she expresses so well.
The Internet connection runs fantastic to prepare your day or to share the amazing impressions once back home after absorbing what Rio has to offer.
The location is super if you enjoy nightlife in Lapa or want to stroll down the streets in Santa Teresa.
