George is a very responsive host, we couldn't meet during my stay but he had introduced his friend Ayron during check-in who was super helpful especially helping out with the luggage up to the apartment! The view is just amazing, beautiful - look exactly the same as the pictures shown if not better.
Yes this place is in the favela of Babilonia but during my short stay, I never felt a bit of insecurity nor unsafe. People are generally friendly there, a nod and a smile and Ola and you will do just fine. Highly recommend if you want a little taste of favela, and to be a part of the true Brazilian.
