We LOVED this bnb. On first arrival into the favela I was a little nervous but I soon realised that it seems really safe and the community are very friendly. It is at the top of the hill but a moped from the bottom is just 5real so easy to catch, the walk up is ok anyway. Our room was large, comfortable and clean with ensuite and fresh towels daily. A little warm as no air con. The rooftop was AMAZING! chilling in the hammock or play pool with the most incredible views of Cocacabana! We also got to attend rooftop party for new years eve which was amazing! Thiago mum Vera made AMAZING food for this and for breakfast every morning (best cakes!). The whole family were very friendly. The kitchen has good facilities for cooking too. Sadly the WiFi didn't work at all during our stay. Their is a little local shop 2mins away. And 5 mins away GO to Bar do David for dinner!! Overall we had an amazing stay and would definitely come back! Thankyou so much Thiago, Vera, Luis! Feliz novo ano! :-) Liam e Tanya x
