We enjoyed our time at la carioquice,
Jardel is super friendly and had a lot of nice recommendations for us!
Wifi did not work in our room, but providing us an amplifier helped a lot!
We loved the terrace for breakfast and hanging out.
The location just next to the favela, surprised us in the first moment, because we just read copacabana and ipanema, but we never felt unsafe or worried all the time.
You need to know that you have to walk up the hill for a bit to reach the apartment.
We therefore used uber a lot.
