we loved everything about this property. The view, the location. An incredible experience.

Great experience in a favela. Really nice community. Amazing breakfast with lots to choice from every morning. It is up a hill so be prepared to be out all day once you go out unless you are fit and like climbing lots of steps or you take uber back up. Local bus nearby too

It was a little bit out of town, Ubers were fairly good though!

Great to stay in a favella, it felt very safe and everyone seemed very friendly, the staff were very nice. Views of Rio were epic!

I totally loved the favela. At the beginning I was a bit impressed and I though I will need to take Uber all the time but I always got my way around. There is actually a metro not far a way if you go down the favela. The favela is super nice and people are super nice. They will always help you to find your way if you are lost. The staff is also very nice. I felt at home. Everyone were super nice during my stay. During the day I walked around Sante Teresa, you can also take the bus 007 or 006. I always felt safe. The view from the rooftop is amazing. I think staying in a favela is a great experience, you see Rio differently.

There was no more welcome caipirihna, and they sell no drinks at all, so that if you arrive late at night, there's no shop open. I had the impression that they somehow neglect some minor maintenances: for example, both chairs on my balcony were broken. In the evernings, there's not much to do in the walking distance, but Uber works excellently.

The view from the balcony cannot be better. From there you'll catch the perfect sunrise and ever-changing mood of the Sugarloaf. And I liked the flexibility of the staff. I was picked up in the deepest night (2:40 am) and on my check-out day, they let me keep the room till late afternoon, because my flight schedule changed at short notice. And the breakfast is decent. The near-by restaurant abcd is very cheap but offer excellent food and view as well, but only open for lunch. At night, it looks quite safe, so that you really don't need to be afraid. The proper Brasilians say this Santa Teresa area is actually safer than Copacabana or Ipanema area.

A bit hard to reach the first couple of times. Maybe more dummy-proof signs could be good, but you can always ask the ppl :)

The view is great and the people are lovely. The whole neighborhood is also stunning.

The location can be a little difficult if you need to get into town.

Well, the view over Rio is quite something and the people running the hostel were warm and friendly. The place is comfortable and a little off the beaten track. It's not difficult to find and I'd say that this place is perfect if you'd like some time to just relax and stay local. Unfortunately, I missed the breakfast because I went out early, but, with this included, it's great value for money.

Constructive feedback - a bin in the room (other than bathroom) would have been helpful!

An amazing experience - I’m so pleased we chose to stay here. It is very close to Santa Teresa neighbourhood which has bars, restaurants and lovely cobbled streets. We found using Uber very easy and unlike other reviews we had none cancelled - they drop you at the start of the Favella and it is then a 5 minute walk to get to the accommodation. Lots of reviews mention the steep hills - you won’t get fantastic views like this without hills! And the views make any hill worth it. Breakfast was fantastic - fruit, toast, yoghurt etc. Probably one of the best value for money places I’ve ever stayed!

It's a nice place to stay.

A bird's eyes view to the city. Clean room With balcony. Decent breakfast.

You need to understand that this accommodation is a bit far away. At times there will be airplanes crossing very close above the accommodation (more of an issue for double-rooms as shared rooms are located in basement).

Great location with great view. Good bugdet price. Nice hosts. Breakfast with fruits.

The house and the room itself were beautiful, and the host family very accommodating. The view was absolutely breathtaking. Good location for exploring Santa Teresa. Would definitely recommend!

The view from the balcony. Best view I've ever had in 30 years of traveling

Honestly, this is not so close to the city center as I expected. And it looks like taxi services like uber and 99 dont like this pickup point. We had about 30% of tips cancelled by driver.

Great place to stay! atmospheric, friendly, beautiful views. The breakfast is very good with a variety of fruits and good coffee.
