Forget about Copacabana, Ipanema or Leblon. Staying at Favela Chic you will have a genuine Rio experience.
This really cool apartment with stunning views is located at the bottom of Vidigal favela, the post crd favela of Rio de Janeiro… (and the safest)… the location is for those who like a little bit of adventure and really is a good cultural immersion into the reality of Brazil. The apartment itself is absolutely stunning and secure. Taxis can be an issue but only happened to us once that they wouldn’t drive us up- of course the night we arrived with out baggage! But most of them do go up- super easy walk otherwise!! Great experience overall!
