I'm used to visit Rio de Janeiro. I've stayed in this city already many times. Honestly, I never stayed in such an excellent location. Here you are close by everything you need: beach, supermarkets, banks, excellent restaurants, metro. At the same time you have a topfloor veranda with plants, fresh air, no much street noise and inside 24h/24h internet, a very large confortable bed and a fantastic bathroom as surplus. Besides that, your host Mario as a local is a great guide, he will help you whenever you need him. And at the same time he gives you all the privacy you need. I definitely would recommend Mario and this place. Here you get value for your money.
