If you want a real Brazilian experience, this is the place! You'll be able to se closely how a "Favela" is, but from the comfort of a beautiful house that is "Casa de vidro".
George is also really helpful and will help you around if you ever need.
Finally, it's a walking distance from Copacabana, there's a view from Cristo Redentor and an amazing view of the ocean!
I loved it :)
