Finding Bragas from Lapa station was a breeze. The neighborhood is very quiet and seemed safe. A 10 minute walk takes you right to the heart of it. The housing itself is better than I expected - especially the shower room. It is an old walk up so the finishings need repair, but as we were happy with the experience overall. It was nice seeing other travelers and sharing stories and the communal space was clean and interactive. Great place to rest your head!
