Boutique hotel meets community vibe.
Bruno and Yves-Marie were simply exceptional hosts. Jardel, their on-site manager, was a gem when it came to navigating the local neighborhood.
Their house is a former social club turned into a b&b. The atmosphere is super relaxed, often with lovely lounge music playing in the common area where I had a great time chatting with the other two guests staying at the same time I was.
I really enjoyed eating my breakfast outdoors and getting some work done on my computer before heading off exploring Rio based on Bruno and Yves-Marie's recommendations. When I told them I wanted to hang-glide, they immediately put me in touch with an instructor who turned out to be excellent.
I cannot recommend this place enough. Say hi to them for me. Cheers.
