Axel's guest house is a fantastic place, the best one we could expect to have an authentic experience of Rio : the building is at the top entrance of a small and totally secure favela with a breathtaking view of the bay and Pao de Azucar ! So great favela neighbors, great mix of people inside Axel's building with a good atmosphere among the various inhabitants. On top of that, Axel is extremely hospitable and always happy to share his knowledge, tips and passion for Rio and Brazil. The ideal place for the forthcoming sport events !!
