This was such a great spot for us for 8 days in Rio. It felt like a VACATION having a great property to relax at, by the pool with a great breakfast each day. And then it was the perfect location...in a local neighborhood, but with easy access to Ipanema and Copacabana and the metro and bike share stations! It's on a hill to a favela and we felt totally safe and welcome walking to and from the house on the hill each day. It was also easy for Ubers and taxis to find. Taxi drivers seem to know this road. And the host were incredible, showing us some amazing local spots and activities. Thank you!!!
