Uber won’t take you all the way there & it’s another 5-8mins walking uphill &/or stairs from where they leave you. It’s a nice place for a couple days, I couldn’t stay longer than 4. I felt like I was in someone else’s room which made me uncomfortable. I have anxiety and some things triggered me. It’s also more than just Vera that stays there which also made me uncomfortable.
Vera does everything & she’s wonderful, a small breakfast & coffee was always ready in the morning & after a couple days she came & through out my trash & cleaned the toilet. (the toilet cover is yellow from overuse). Doesn’t speak english.
If you’re familiar with rio & speak Portuguese then this is decent home for a quick stay.
