Heinz's house is absolutely wonderful- its in a fantastic location, in the heart of Morro da Babilônia, which after visiting Rio for many years is by far my favourite place to stay in the city. The favela is full of life and colour, and as its such a tight-knit community it feels much safer than anywhere else. Heinz's house is easily accessible - a moto-taxi drops you nearly at the door - and you get a real taste of Brazilian culture. At the same time, the apartment is new and very well decorated, with all the luxury of an apartment on the "asphalt", but with all the character of being in the middle of the favela. I highly recommend it!
