Literally right in the heart of the Friday night action, which is very useful for toilet stops and replenishing cash reserves. Don't expect any sleep. The place is LOUD, especially if there are aussies there, which no doubt there always is.... Just a room to crash in rather that get a taxi back to copacabana. Perfect for fridat, wouldn't stay any longer!

Location, staff and bar. SV is located in Lapa and is next door to Semente a hangout for the best musicians in BRAZIL ! Lapa is the heart and soul of Rio, the music and night life district . Staff are well informed helpful and full of great suggestions that are not just listed in your lonely planet guide. Great bar, cheap drinks, live music, dj nights and great atmosphere ! Yep... I loved it.

It was in an excellent location. On friday night, the street below was full with people in Lapa - it was ideal if you wanted to get a taste of Rio on the weekend. the staff were incredible - they were from all over the world so conversing was no problem, and it also meant that they give us cheap alternatives to doing the really expensive things in Rio (and where to avoid so we did not get mugged). Arriving by day there was a bit nerve racking because it looked a bit dodgy, but the whole area came alive and looked fantastic at night. I will definitely stay here again.
