We had the most amazing and enriching stay at Pedro’s place, would totally recommend! I think it is important to mention that the property is in a pacified favela, however, this is not something that anyone should be concerned about unless they are unable to climb a lot of stairs! We felt far safer in the favela than in places like Lapa or centro, everyone was very friendly and welcoming - our neighbour even took us to a musical! The place is a basic space but has all th amenities needed (except wifi although Pedro told me he will be installing this by the time anyone else checks in). Pedro himself was immensely helpful, and walked me to the metro station, pointing out landmarks to make it easier for me to recognise the return journey, and he was always very responsive by text.
Everything was very simple and flexible, we were able to extend our stay with no issues at all. The two of us would both recommend Pedro’s place wholeheartedly.
