We spent an amazing week at Axel Home . The view from the apartment is even more beautiful than pictures. In addition, Axel allowed us to experience the real life of favelas. The apartment is ideally located for visiting Rio. Buses for center run every 10 minutes. Interaction and meetings with people passing by casa for a drink made ​​the success of our stay. If you are looking for an idyllic place with all the comfort and tranquility, look for elsewhere. This house is coherent with its environment. If you want to feel a little "carioca", this is the right place.
