Nice place, in copacabana, front of the beach. but there is too much road noise. the windows are not isolated. my advice, keep the vue to the beach, it's nice.
Today we return to rio janeiro, where we will spend the following 3 days. This afternoon, we took the underground and went to lapa district, we visited the bars, streets, the famous colored "stairs". After that we went to Rio scenarium, this is a famous place of rio, where you have the samba live music, for entrance 25 reals, it's not includ the foods and drinks. This place is fine, big and well designed. You have 3 show time each night : from 19:30 to 22:30, 22:30 to midnight and after midnight. You can eat, drink. Dance and meet people. Do it, it's great. We visited Rocinha favela with a guide. The price for this visit turn is 120 reals each. When we arrived to Brasilia, we refused the idea to visit the favelas. But after the visit, we changed our opinion, I think it's good to understand the life conditions of this population. We understood that when you are born in favela, you will die in favela, and you pass all your life inside. So, if you make your visit with respect and if you discuss and share with them, you give to young people chance to discuss and hope to change and to look higher. The photos below was taken in Rocinha favela, they gives you an idea of life conditions inside. For information, 20% of the visit fees goes back to this population. all the favelas of Rio de Janeiro are pacified, you have some hotels and poussadas inside, feel free to go there and meet population. The famous Brazilian foot ball players, come from the favelas.
We had a very nice trip, we encourage travelers to visit this huge country and of course, to meet and share with local people and other travelers.
