I have nothing but great things to say about this place. We stayed in the Manga (a small studio in the Casa) which was perfect for the 3 of us (one sofa bed and one double bed). Clean and functional and beautifully located. Axel and the others from the Casa were friendly and resourceful. We highly recommend Axel's tour of the favela and taking a visit to Projeto Morrinho. We'd be back without any hesitation! :)
