Urca is a lovely neighbourhood with a local feel. Excellent location walking distance from small beaches, bars and restaurants and the Sugarloaf mountain, and a short uber ride to the main beaches. One of the best things about the location was it’s safety - as a sole female traveller, I was comfortable walking around the area by myself.
The accommodation is a separate loft style room and bathroom on the top floor of Luis’s residence. The room was very comfortable and clean. The hosts made me a tasty breakfast and provided some helpful tips. They also have two very cute and friendly cats! I would definitely stay here again.
