The location is great near all shops, bars, restaurants and walking distance to main attractions. The place is walking distance to the S. Bento metro station. Coming from the airport it will take you about 45 min to get to the hostel. Arriving at the place was not a problem, Paulo even waited for me on the street. He gives his guests a light breakfast which most places do not offer. The rooms are confortable and clean. The beds have dark curtains (do not appear in the pictures) to cover from light. I had an overall great stay and highly recommend this place.
