UPDATED - Nega Maluca guesthouse, historic center Salvador
We are located in Santo Antonio which is in the historic center of Salvador with its cobbled streets and beautifully preserved and painted colonial houses. Our house is on a quiet residential street, where locals still sit outside as the evening falls and talk about their neighbor's life . We are only 3 min. walk away from the centre of the action where live music and percussion bands play daily, for free, but far enough to enjoy some peace and quiet when the party is over and have a good night of sleep. We are a few min. walk from the only supermarket in the area, museums, travel agencies and basically everything a guest might during their stay in Salvador. We are one of the first hostels to open up in Salvador, Actually the 2nd, and we have been open for 14 years now.
