My boyfriend and I loved staying here. The space is stylish and modern, with lots of greenery outdoors. We had zero interaction with the favela across the way, but used uber to and from everwhere we went. We had one uber who refused to take us to this area, but everything else was fine. Jardel made us the best scrambled eggs of our whole trip, and every morning they run to the bakery for fresh loaves of bread(!!). I'm already missig this breakfast. Jardel also makes a MEAN caipirinha. Bruno gave us some great recommendations for our one rainy day, along with a whole host of other recommendations and answers to my random questions. Great space, great hospitality. Can't wait to return someday.
