The street is a bit noisy at night, but who goes to Rio to sleep in a silent environment? The great advantage is that the neighborhood is full of friendly bars, good Botequim’s, restaurants, supermarkets and padarias. Don’t fail to go to the Bar do Adão. The location is great, very close to the beach. All we can say is that we had a wonderful time in Carlos’ flat; we would recommend it 100%: it is very well equipped, and decorated with a lot of taste. We did not meet Carlos but Oliver was so nice and always available to meet any of our requests. It was definitely one of our best experiences in Rio and all we want is to go back there!
