11 October 2009	Christopher Davis Really loved the place. The room was clean and tidy with a balcony with a great view of Rio. Zaba the owner was really friendly and very helpful to us during our stay. I loved the Breakfast (loved it Thanks Inesh !!!). It was fun get the tram up to the place and had a great meal in a nearby local restaurant which had a great samba party. If you want to get away from Copacabana and Ipanema this is a great place to stay. Close to Corcovado and its good to stay with the real locals. Not to0 dangerous either and plenty of restaurants around !!	100%
