    Amazing location with one of the rest views in all of Rio and a great terraço and comunal área overlooking the sea in one of the more interesting áreas to stay in in Rio. Nice volunteers and good comunal spaces and kitchen.

    Having chosen a private room and paid a little extra for a sea view, I was not disappointed. A stunning and unforgettable sea view filled the window frame! Good price.

    The view, the common areas. The location is a bit of a double edged sword, on the the one hand vidigal is a cool neighborhood, but on the other hand, it is a bit far from everything.
