What a place! They’ve done a great job remodeling a classic old building
overlooking the city (with great view of Sugarloaf Mountain). Spotless,
secure, modern, and comfortable, with a tasteful, minimalist design that
is hard to find in this city. It’s in front of a very special – and
well-stocked! – old neighborhood bar where local legends, artists, and
musicians hang out every day.

The location on the edge of Santa Teresa is magical: it’s on top of the
hill, but there are busses (006, 007, 014) and motorcycle taxis (near
the Gloria metro station) that make getting there easy. The famous tiled
steps and Flamengo park are close by, and within just a few minutes you
have the madness of Lapa or the convenience of the metro, but the
location is amazingly peaceful. Cannot wait to get back here someday!
