I can definitely recommend this accommodation. It's located in the middle of Ipanema, two minutes away from the beach. Since the building is set back from the street, it is very quiet. The hostel has a relaxed and friendly vibe, with interesting and colorful decoration and a spacious entrance/common area where you can hang out, work or have a drink. It's also where breakfast is served daily. All the staff is super helpful and friendly (special shoutout to Marta!) and speaks English very well. The rooms look like in the pictures. The furniture and bathrooms are not the most modern, but then again it's a budget accommodation, so you should be aware that you're not booking a five star hotel. I would stay there again when in Rio, as I enjoyed the location, the friendliness of the staff and the overall vibe in the hostel a lot.
