woow wooow woow !!! This is my answer to the question of how it was here. The best team works here with Jardel, Gustavo and Ariana, which you can only imagine as a guest. You live with friends, every wish was read from my eyes before I even realized I had a wish. Since I am traveling alone, I was integrated immediately, I was taken to friends' homes in the evenings, to a bar up in the favelas, and they helped me with problems with the telephone and all other things that are important for a tourist from Europe. I can't think of a better place in Rio than this chic little intimate paradise in the heart of Rio. All 4 different rooms in the hotel are beautifully decorated, breakfast on the beautiful terrace was a pleasure every day and the pool deck is beautiful during the day and magical at night! It is absolutely safe in the area, and other guests have never experienced an unsafe situation, whether here or anywhere in Rio. I made new real friends in Rio. Thank you so much to all of you. "I'll be back! ..."
