This is a great place to stay with beautiful views! It is also close to Lapa and the famous Selaron steps. Axel is a very good host and his friends are also very helpful. He provides thorough instructions to get to his place from the airport. He recommended a delicious place for lunch in the favela and gave good directions for what to see for us to explore on our own! Breakfast is provided and complimentary. We really enjoyed our stay here, we only regret having just one night here and wish we had more time! Thanks Axel!
