In exchange, we offer free accommodation and the opportunity to live in the heart of São Paulo's urban art and culture.

My experience at the hostel has been amazing. I had the opportunity to immerse myself in the local culture and also meet international travelers. For remote workers or anyone traveling and working at the same time while exploring incredible cities like São Paulo, this is the right place to enjoy your WP experience. I would definitely come back for another stay at the hostel. The teammates create a great spirit of collaboration and are always ready to help, even if you have other commitments. For all these reasons, I strongly recommend this hostel.

**Amazing Experience at Matianelu Hostel!** Staying at **Matianelu Hostel** was incredible! The atmosphere is super welcoming, and I made amazing friendships that I'll cherish forever. The **location** is perfect—right in the heart of Vila Madalena, surrounded by bars, cafés, art galleries, and easy public transport access. The neighborhood's vibrant energy makes every day an adventure. If you're looking for a place to connect with great people and enjoy São Paulo to the fullest, **Matianelu is the place to be!**
