This place is in a very convenient location. On the street outside you can find bus stops, restaurants, grocery stores, and banks. The metro is only about a five minute walk. The beach is right around the corner also. The communication is great and they are very helpful. Overall, I rated my experience 4/5 stars. Rio is a very busy city so it was a bit noisy even though you are up 10 stories. The shower is a bit difficult to use as well. Other than that it was a good place to stay.
