The owner of the hotel is super kind and helpful. The hotel is located in a lovely old authentic colonial house, the rooms are ok, not very big, for a short stay to visit PS it’s fine. The breakfast was wowed by many people here and i agree that there was an abundance of choices, selfmade doces e salgados and juices. Unfortunately no restaurant for lunch anymore, but restaurant Gallo nearby had amazing costelinhas! Balsa to Arraial nearby.

Personally i did not feel nice walking around at dark in the neighbourhood, even though the rua do alcohol is 10 min away, some streets are dark and empty. There is abundant police, and no risk of armed assault, but while eating in an outside restaurant a man got arrested on the street nearby which was a violent thing to witness. Being a European i’m probably not used to it. Uber works fine so that is always an option.
