Pilar took us through the house and made us comfortable on arrival. She also explained the house rules very clearly. Pilar speaks good English, so communication is not a problem.
The location is awesome and peaceful. One could see Christ Redeemer from the balcony, no its not near this place though. The place has a very outstanding feel and is kept well. Evenings there are some events, group gatherings etc., so one could mingle with other folks and local people too.
The kitchenette comes handy when travelling with kids or for people with specific dietary needs. There are a few very good eateries and cafes at walking distance. The Urca beach is also barely 400 mtrs away.
Good place to stay!
