Dudu and his family are some of the nicest people youll ever meet! They were the perfect hosts going above and beyond to make us feel welcome, providing lots of information on the area. The view from the balcony is stunning and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly. The area is safe and the locals are all really friendly. We will miss them a lot!
Beds could do with an update however its great value for money so worth the stay.

Dudu, the host, is a great person! The area is really safe and I enjoyed sitting on the top floor with a cool breeze. Great value for money. It's easy to walk up the hill. Also within walking distance from the domestic airport.
A few more power sockets would be nice. There is no air conditioning.

we had a wonderful time! Eduardo - the owner is such a wonderful person, made us feel really welcome! the neighborhood is also great! you get the Favela vibe but you are safe! everyone there was super nice, helpful and even if mostly nobody spoke English they tried to help! best part: THE VIEW! seriously its amazing! thank u Eduardo for your kindness!
could be a bit cleaner! but probably just because we are used to European standards

Dudu and the staff are awesome and super friendly. Always here to help and make you laugh. They know how to make your stay feel like home. Not to mention the stunning sunrises and view on Po de Acar.
Not a bad thing but just a reminder to future travellers: do not expect a 5 stars fancy hotel. But everything you need is there!

Great owner, helped us a lot and we had a good time. The area is safe, located on the top of the mountain. In 15 minutes walk there is everything you need, shops, beach, transport.

This was a great experience. The favelas now are extremely safe and the neighborhood food d cheap and very good. I always looked forward to lunch at the kitchen restaurant around the corner from 11am-2pm. Almost like a buffet style for 18 Real! I stayed 8 days and figured everything out - so if youre staying here, here are some good tips! First, I am in excellent shape so I prefer hiking up to get to the hostel, but there is a cheap and frequent van/bus service that only goes up and down for 2 Real each way which is nothing. It runs all day. Dont take Uber there. The van is easy! Theres a subway station close by- takes you everywhere. The place is in central location which is awesome. The favelas are interesting! Have a look at the indoor soccer fields and pedestrian streets where the likes of Michael Jackson and other celebs went for scenes of videos etc. the host is great too. Text him on WhatsApp and hes there for everything you need. Place is great and people super nice and friendly. A favela experience I will cherish!
The place is good for the price. No complaints.

Pleasant
Eduardo has been available and communicative since I made the reservation and the experience of living in a favela is fun, it is a safe place or at least, nothing has happened to me or I have felt in danger at any time. I liked the experience and the view is very nice
The bunk was too low and you could not sit on the bed. The place is cheap but if you add the transport to go up there, it is not so cheap. Walking, until the subway station, it takes about 30 minutes, the climb is deadly. I don't think they cleaned the bathroom every day

In general, we enjoyed our stay. Eduardo and his family were very nice and welcoming. The place had eveything we needed and the people from the neighbourhood were very helpful and always smiling. Despite the place being difficult to get to, the area is definitely interesting and worth seeing.
The place is very difficult to find if you are a non-Brazilian and sometimes it was hard to sleep because of the noise coming from the street. Although the place was generally clean, the bedsheets were old and dirty.
