The place was beautiful and comfortable. Amazing views of Rio from the street and neighborhood. The historical tram (bondinho) runs on the same street of the building. Very good for those that want to have a quieter experience in Rio and be closer to nature. Raul and Flavio were great! They gave us all the tips and helped with what we needed. Only sad to see that the neighborhood is a bit too quiet now with many shops and restaurants closed down and people moving away. Best if you stay there with a car or are able to get cabs/uber to go to other parts of Rio.
