best way to experience living in a favela!
super clean and SUPER SAFE
great communication, kindness and help from the host.
internet works well.
no hot shower, just warm. (hot water doesn't exist in favelas)
the entrance is a little smelly (but that's part of the favela experience)
only downside is the Ubers and taxis don't pick you up from there, you have to go down a bit by foot. but that's also part of the experience.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
