Yes! After attending DiaTipo last year at the same location, I can highly recommend the venue to everyone here. Paulistas are very welcoming, very hungry for type, and very talented in their own right. I’m excited to see my pals there again, along with other folk from abroad. Or take it from Matthew Carter:
Demure & patient, M. Carter drinks w/ a noisy throng of admiring #DiaTipo attendees. As we leave, he says with a smile, “I've never met so many friendly people.” — December 14, 2014
We had some serious discussions on the SoTA board, about holding TypeCon in South America, but nothing came of it. That was maybe 10 years ago. Props to ATypI for making it happen!

I’d wish I can make it there … we’ll see.

I live very close from there and the neighborhood is nice. It's very close from Água Branca Park (see the google maps) and You can walk and Do your morning exercises.
I live in Rua Minerva (Minerva street). It's the first paralel street from the hostel and I can help some of You to know the neighborhood and give You guys some tips.
