This place is ideal for anyone looking for a great place to stay while visiting Rio De Janiero. Not only is it a few minutes walk from the beach, it is also situated almost in the middle of all of the main attractions (e.g. 10-15 minutes by uber to most spots). Secondly, our host was amazin in that he was prompt with his response and went well beyond to make sure we were having a great time by checking in and seeing if there was anything that we needed. I have stayed in many places around the world and the hospitality given here was supreme!!
