About this place El Misti Hostel Ipanema

El Misti Ipanema is a backpacker hostel on Rua Joana Angélica, a few blocks inland from Ipanema beach. It is a gay-friendly mainstream hostel, not a gay one, and it has a 4.7 average from nearly 4,800 reviews. It offers the usual mix of dorms and private rooms, with a social, travel-crowd atmosphere. The location is good for gay visitors. Rua Farme de Amoedo and the rainbow-flag stretch of beach at Posto 8–9 are a few minutes' walk away, as is General Osório metro. Keep valuables in the locker and carry little on the beach.
