I stayed here for a month and the place was solid. The location is great, in less than 10 minutes you can walk to Copacabana beach and paddleboard. It is also close enough to go to Ipanema beach or the great restaurants in that neighborhood. There were a few issues including the wifi going out and the electronic lock not functioning properly at times, though Ezio was quick to respond and help out. Air conditioning works great. Shower didn't seem to get very hot, or have great pressure though. Value was really high for it including the week of carnaval.
