Directions
From the International Airport, Tom Jobim (Galeão):

BUS: Take the REAL bus to Ipanema and get off at 'Sol Ipanema Hotel' located on the beach avenue. Walk 3 blocks up Rua Vinicius de Moraes or Rua Farme de Amoedo until you reach Rua Barão da Torre where we are located at number 175. The bus ride takes 1.5 hours and costs R$7
TAXI costs around R$80 and takes approx. 45 minutes. A cheaper alternative is to go outside the arrival hall and negotiate a taxi price at around R$50, taxis from the AeroCoop company go on the meter and would charge around R$45.
From Rio's bus station (Rodoviária-Novo Rio):
Bus with AC (R$4), company REAL (takes approximately 45mins), get off in Ipanema at Farme de Amoedo and walk up to Rua Barão da Torre. Local bus (R$2.20) no 127 or 128, sign 'Ipanema', will also get you here but most of the time it takes over 1hr and it´s not as safe. Taxi is around R$30 and is easy to take from the arrival hall where there is an organized taxi service at an affordable price.
When you arrive at Rua Barão da Torre N°175 there is a gate, during daytime it is open so just to put your hand inside and turn the knob, then walk to house 18 down on the left and ring the doorbell if the door is not open. If the gate is locked just ring the interphone to the left (it says Harmonia casa 18 on it) and we come and open. Observe that there nowadays are plenty of hostels in our little street, all have Country Flags hanging outside, we have one flag and it´s Swedish (blue with a yellow cross).
* Please make sure you have arrived at us at not one of the neighbours!
