Very friendly and proactive host; did everything to make me feel comfortable. The apartment is very simple (you're in a favela after all), yet it has a nice view, a good bed, and you don't need a kitchen because the host can cook for you (yummy). Neighbors are nice, there are birds and monkeys (sometimes) if you stick your head out of the window, and an entrance to trail with a 360-degree view of Rio is located 50 m from the door.
