We spent two weeks in Rufino’s house. It was unforgettable experience. The Rufino’s house is in a small friendly and very beautiful favela called Babilonia with an amazing view from the rooftop. You can see the beach, mountains, sunset and sunrise from there. Every morning Vera served a pretty breakfast on the rooftop with coffee, sandwiches and fruits. They cleaned our room almost everyday, helped us with all our questions and were very hospitable. I highly recommend this place for Rio!
