A localização é incrível, próximo a Lagoa e com muitas opções de restaurantes e comercio ao redor além de feirinha de artesanato durante o final de semana. É possível chegar a algumas praias de ônibus ou carro de forma rápida e barata. O hostel tem um clima ótimo, a Lilly faz com que a gente se sinta em casa, o café da manhã é realmente muito bom!! Certamente voltaremos no Mama Africa na nossa próxima visita a Florianópolis! Vale a pena!!

Little residential hostel with great breakfast

We were in Floripa on a long layover. We opted for the private room so it was more like a B&B than hostel (but they do have shared bunks). We aren't familiar with the area so walking down a residential street felt a little odd but we didn't come across anyone unfriendly. The owner is very nice and the breakfast she made was awesome!
