Unique place to stay in Rio. The host is a wonderful person.
Location: It takes about 20-30 minutes to get there from the base of the hill. Must have a car with good ground clearance. Road may be difficult to navigate at night (if you want to enjoy Rio's night life, you may need want to take that into account).
Reminder: Remember to tape the fridge shut when you leave otherwise the monkeys will steal your breakfast (it happened to us).
