This is a great cultural pick: The propriety has a favela as a backdrop which was first scary but then we assimilated it, like a highlight.
All of us (6 adults and 2 young children) end-up getting shirts with the theme “favela” for our memories.
We had the 2 stories, which allowed lots of needed privacy in the middle of our tour in Brazil.
Tip: for souvenirs or an extra beg, there is a shop close by name WANLI at the Nossa senhora de Copacabana. It has much cheaper souvenirs than in the touristic places.
The taxis that have their “pout” nearby were great and might even be good for a longer trip (ask them if possible).
Carmen was prompt to help us solve a problem with the building garage door, which we used at night as instructed. Carmen provided us a nice PreJob Brief at our arrival.
We went to Ipanema by foot (about 20 min with the kids) and to Copacabana at night (about 15 min).
We took taxi to the Sugar Loaf and to the Corcovado train station.
We took the metro do a general trip, it is very convenient and can be paid by tapping the credit card.
The propriety is very clean and does not have personal belongings from the owner, which is great. Mattresses and towels smell fresh, professionally cleaned.
