Guest Reviews
- CATHERINE (1/5): - El acceso
- Meline (9/5): Très bon séjour dans cet appartement, super rapport qualité prix. Transaction très facile avec l'hot - Emplacement + rapport qualité prix
- Julian (9/5): Buena experiencia - Está muy bien equipado y muy accesible a Ipanema y Copacabana. Creo que no es para todo el mundo el hecho de tener las escaleras y encontrarse en la Favela. La realidad es que para nosotros eso no fue un problema, ya que la publicación es clara. De todas formas, es como subir andando 6 o 7 pisos de un edificio, nada más.
- Santos (7/5): Ruim, não recomendo - Havia cafeteira e móveis no apartamento, facilitando preparo de refeições. Infelizmente foi necessário subir aproximadamente 167 degraus até chegar no apartamento, os travesseiros estavam mofados, o apartamento não estava devidamente limpo quando chegamos, principalmente o vaso sanitário e as paredes com mofo, acabamos sofrendo com falta de água em alguns momentos e a máquina não funcionava.

- JmO-80 (8/5): - Localização e praticidade.
- CABRALES AVILA (1/5): No volvería jamás - Solo que la sra al principio fue amable. Y supo engañar bien Literalmente nada me gustó, la primera noche dejamos en apartamento.
Me pintaron algo por booking y bueno me parecía accesible y cerca de la playa. Antes de yo reservar nunca me indicaron que me tocaba subir unas escaleras tan espantosas y hediondas, que eran literalmente 7 pisos.
Me sentí súper estafado.. y literalmente me dañaron mi viaje
- Emilly (10/5): -
- ROZO (8/5): BONITO PERO DE DIFICIL ACCESO - la disposición para atender de la anfitriona la ubicación del apartamento, queda en un lugar donde no pueden acceder los vehículos muchos escalones para llegar y mucha gente armada en el lugar que para una persona que no esta acostumbrada genera pánico
- Dasha (10/5): Thanks!! It was amazing 😍 - For this price you have a whole apartment. Very nice staff responsible for check in. It was clean, there is a fan and air conditioning. Located two steps from ipanema! I didn't care, but maybe for someone it's a minus that the housing is in a favela.
- Leonard (1/5): drug dealers, long riffles, crack addicts, rats - The apartment is located in the middle of a favela, 30 meters away from drug dealers with heavy riffles, you will see crack addict walking back and fourth under your living room window in a hell of rat’s dump smell. I am not exaggerating.
When I arrived I asked for a refund to the host and she has not accepted. I left for somewhere else.
- Devicenzo (9/5): Great location in Ipanema for a great price! - The apartment is in very good condition and looks even better than in the pictures. It has a functional kitchen with an electric stove and most of the need you'll need to cook. It also has a filter so you can drink tap water.
The bathroom is very nice and clean and the shower is much better than most of Brazil's widespread electric shower. The pressure of the water is great and you can set the temperature to "real hot". One of the rooms has AC but the fan was enough for me.
For those who have never been in a favela before, it is a safe place and I even consider it safer than tourist areas. In the favela, there's a code of coexistence where criminality will not affect you because no one steals inside the favela. You may see drug dealers with guns but they will never do something to you if you respect the codes. (DO NEVER TAKE PICTURES OF THEM OR AREAS WHERE THEY ARE, and if you do, they will approach you to ask you to delete the pictures).
Anyway, it is located just in the beginning of the community so you won't have to walk inside the favela. It is just 5 min from the street by stairs and there's also an elevator from Monday to Friday.
If you wanna live your first favela experience, this apartment is for you! As it is very well located and next to the access to the favela, it can be a bit noisy during the day. But I only had this problem when I had to stay at home for work.
