The hostel is only five minute walk from either the metro station or the old little cable car, both of which link you to the rest of the city. the hostel is located at the inner part of the favela which requires you to walk a small uphill (or down) where along the way you are treated to a wonderful sight of beautiful houses, robust trees, playing children, and chatting women . This part of the city is absolutely secured and has been quiet for the past ten years assuring you of a fabulous stay.
