It’s studio in favela, location is very life and in the night you can enjoy loud music. Plus is that all is cheap around. Uber doesn’t come to this location, you can rely on people help of another apps. I never met Michelle, but his mum is very nice and helpful person. It’s walking distance from the beach and very close to bus station, in kitchen all works good. I think, considering location , it’s definitely “gringo” price for life in Rio community. In general good
