This is by the far the best- and most unique air bnb we have stayed in! Bruno, Yves & Jardel are all incredibly accommodating and made our trip to Rio a fantastic experience. The accommodation set up, the rooms, lounge, balcony, pool and views (Of the harbour & the favela) are superb.
Jardel also provided an amazing fresh breakfast each day, and all of the guys gave us great tips and help getting around the city.
The accommodation is next to the favela- don’t be put off. It is such a unique experience and we felt safe at all times- the people are friendly and live in harmony. Be safe in the evening by getting ubers- these are easily available and very cheap! Close to the metro too.
It is noisy - but this is all part of living like a local for a few days in Rio- they provide ear plugs- but just be prepared for favela parties at the weekend!
Overall a brilliant stay- we would come back- these guys are great!
