This guesthouse is a great place to discover and stay in Rio de Janeiro. Ideally located on the heights of Copacabana, just off Ipanema. Its proximity to all restaurants and bars make it a favorite place to eat and go out. Even if you have to climb a few minutes to get there, it's really not very complicated, and gives pretty views. The proximity to the favela Cantagalo did not cause me any concern, even if in Brazil it is necessary - anyway - to remain vigilant and on his guard, avoiding to walk alone at night and to show objects of values ​​on oneself. This makes it a lively neighborhood. However, you must expect especially the weekend a little background music in the neighborhood. There is also a metro station not far that allows you to go to the rest of the city, although I preferred to move with Uber, thanks to the modest price of rides. The host of the place, Jardel, welcomed me very friendly and, with me, in French, language that he knows perfectly, in addition to many others languages. He is always available and ready to help with practical matters, such as arriving by taxi from the airport and obtaining a local SIM card. My review is not only about this "Detached Suite in Ipanema by the Hill" where I stayed for my last 5 nights at the end of my trip to Brazil but also for the first 4 nights at the beginning of my trip in the "Charming Suite in Ipanema by the Hill". Both are spacious and you enjoy the comforts of a design hotel’s room, including air conditioning, mini bar and safe for your valuables. Only small downside, you have to open the hot water tap and let the water run for a minute before having hot water in the shower, which is not a real problem when you know it in advance. The showers are very modern and design. The rooms correspond to the description and pics on Airbnb. Personally, I have a preference for the "Charming Suite" because it has a larger office space to work (if needed) and its terrace is more intimate. The Wifi network worked well everywhere in the house and inside the room. The price-quality ratio is unbeatable. I recommend this guesthouse unequivocally for any visit to Rio.
