Property Information:
Explore Rio de Janeiro beyond the obvious and feel like a real 'carioca'.
* About: My name is Myle, I'm a singer, writer and teacher. Walter, my husband, writes plays for theatre and scripts for movies and TV. We both have 37 years old and we enjoy hosting nice, friendly and open-minded people, with whom we can share experiences and from whom we can learn a little bit!
* Our Hostel: We live in a charming house built in 1938, with 750 square meters, just below the famous Cristo Redentor statue. Located in the foothills of the Tijuca Forest, yet only 2 blocks from the main street - where you can find plenty of public transportation options to everywhere in the city, our guest house, called Corcovado Hostel, has no direct entrance from the road. To walk up to the house, it's necessary to climb an ancient staircase, as shown in the pictures! Besides the bedrooms, Corcovado Hostel has a large open veranda overlooking the mountains with a dining table, washing area, sun-loungers and a shower, perfect for relaxing, sun bathing and to soak up the atmosphere of Rio. And with some luck, little monkeys and toucans will show up to say hello!
* Rooms: We have 5 different types of rooms, all clean and airy. Each room is independent from each other opening out onto the terrace.
* The neighborhood: Just between old center and the beaches, Cosme Velho is a traditional neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro, a high-class residential area, very charming and safe, with historical monuments and the memory of illustrious residents, great artists, writers and poets. During the night, Cosme Velho is quiet and peaceful, a place where you can feel like a real 'carioca'. And in case you want to hang out into Rio's nightlife, in 15 minutes, you are in Lapa, Copacabana or Ipanema, knowing that you'll come back to sleep in a little paradise!
* Transportation: From the main street (2 blocks from the hostel), the metro bus takes you to Largo do Machado metro station in 15 minutes where you can catch the metro to the centre or to the beaches. It also takes only 20 minutes by bus to Lapa and Centro (downtown Rio) and to Ipanema and Copacabana. There is also easy access to Santa Teresa, Paineiras and Tijuca Forest.

Latest Review
We stayed at the hostel for five nights on January 2013. The hostel was very clean and Myle, the woman in charge, and the rest of the staff were extremley nice and helpful. The hostel is located right under mountain Corcovado which places it in a beautiful enviroment and provides spectecular view. The area is not very touristic so you'll get a lot of quiet. It requiers a bus to get to the beaches and other famous areas. Also, to get to the hostel you'll have to go up in a pretty steep road.
