This is a little paradise in a more then perfect location. We wanted to stay forever really! The view, the location, it’s perfect.
You can just get picked up and dropped off at the Sheraton across the street for an easy location for taxis and Uber’s to know. There’s a little walking bridge taking you up to the house from there! Super easy and very safe. Yes the favelas are right above the house but we felt super safe in a local neighborhood that’s not threatening at all. It’s so so worth it!
Also use Mauro for taxi, he’s super cool and reliable. I could recommend a 100 things to do while there haha just explore!
