Everything was great during my stay. I wish I read the directions better when I checked in (which exit to take from the station) and followed the house number on the reservation (not Google Maps Lol). I couldn't speak Portuguese but Jardel, Bruno's assistant, was very patient with my Spanglish. You can see the favelas from a distance and the place is uphill but I felt safe and got enough exercise. Short walk to Ipanema & Copacabana for beach stroll, swim or biking. Breakfast is good. Wifi is great compared to most Airbnbs I've stayed at. Bruno's one of the most friendly and smartest hosts I've ever met.
