I spent three weeks here and was working remotely. This place is really at the intersection of function meets stylish form. The design style is modern yet not overdone. The use of space is also very well thought out. Plus, small details like the lighting, embedded speakers, super-fast Wi-Fi, and electric window blinds really bring a level of comfort and luxury that does not come by easily. You can tell it was designed by a really good architect, and in fact, it was (a French architect to be exact). Ivan also checked in with me often even though he's not on the continent. There were a few lightbulbs that needed to get fixed and the management team got it done. There are a few cons you should consider, although I don't personally feel like they're reasons to not book. First, locals think this area is unsafe because it's next to a favela. Perhaps it is, but I don't like to create narratives of lower-income neighborhoods as unsafe, but others will. Personally, I didn't feel unsafe, even when I would walk in the area at night. I actually thought it was a great cultural experience. The key is to not act like a dumb tourist (and that goes for any place, really). With that said, it's not uncommon for Ubers to cancel on you often and delivery people to give you attitude because of the area. Second, this is up a steep hill. This makes for great views but can become an inconvenience especially if you're carrying groceries etc. I enjoyed the workout but others may not—just get an Uber at the bottom. Overall, would 100% recommend this place, especially for long stays!
