Me and my friend stayed here for four nights and can truly recommend it. It is located in a done-up favela -- Babilônia -- and the area is welcoming and feels safe.

The breakfast was very good and is taken with an amazing view from the terrace, over Copacabana and the sea, a 10 minutes walk away. The room was simple, but neat and clean.

The only thing to consider is that the place is situated a decent climb up the hill from beach level, which might be challenging for those that aren't keen on walking a lot up and down. There were however guys with motorcycles at the bottom, that take you up the hill for 5 R$ a time.
