I would like to start mentioning that this place is close to escadaria de selaron, cinelandia station and other touristic places, it is well located that’s definitely, but the problem is that there is a lot of homeless people day and night downstairs and surroundings, pretty bad smell of pipi and poop and I fear is not a safe neighborhood. I had a few scary momets during the 3 nights I stayed there. The place is nice and a bit older that it looks in pictures, the bathroom room is broken, bed not too much comfy and besides the listing says up to 6 guests I would not recommend this place for more that 3 people because there is only one queen bed, and other twin mattress inside a drawer next to the queen bed, what you see above the drawer is not a bed it’s just something cushioned which I don’t recommend to any adult, and sofa bed is not comfortable at all, it has glasses, dishes, but no iron or hairdryer. Bring your adapters as the outlet in Brasil are not the same as USA otherwise you won’t be able to charge anything. luckily we found adapters in escadaria selaron. The place is located in the 5th floor and there is elevator. If you arrive past midnight as we did, you might expect that the concierge is sleep. Our flight arrived at 1am to Rio de Janeiro so we where there by 2am obviously we let our host know this before Booking and he assured that it won’t be a problem but we spent 10 minutes waiting (in the meantime thinking of somewhere else to go) but we couldn’t move, there weren’t taxis only homeless people next to the main door. I’m taking my time with this because I’m a host too and I struggle to give my guests a great experience and also let them know important things that the ones I’ve mentioned here so foreign guests won’t be involved in such troubles because locals know their environment but foreign don’t.
