    A nice little place to stay, in a good location. Quite basic, but clean and very good value for money. Sadly we didn't get to meet our host, but we enjoyed our stay and would definitely return if/when we next visit Rio.

    Very well-locted in the Botafogo district, safe area and lots of commerce around. The beds are comfortable, excellent for a good rest. Also enough restrooms to supply all the guests. Plus the house is of colonial style. I'd come back.
