About the Area
It's a nice and busy middle-class neigborhood in Rio, at the heart of the city, not far from city bus terminal, airports, train and ferry stations, by the Bay Varnhagem Square. - Opposite my building - is a vividly area of Tijuca, far from "favelas" (shantytowns) & surrounded by all daily conveniences, bars & clubs, restaurants with int'l food, cinema, theater, universities, squares, the green park and even a real forest to hike in !! There are plenty of cabs, guards, policemen, hospital, car rental agency, ... just footsteps away. In short, all one needs to feel comfortabe away from home.
It is walkg distant to Maracana to the city Zoo in a green park, and 15 'by metro to downtown area, where most museums are concentrated, and where the Historical sites are located. It is the right spot for tourists wishing to get a taste of the city, and not just the beach (30 'by metro).
