If this is your first time in Rio, this stay is a great option! Very close to Ipanema and Copacabana beach — walking distance. I really liked how there was a subway 2 minutes away on the street. We used this lots! Rio’s subway is easy to use and it’s quite quick to get around. I find it was quicker to sub than Uber. There is a bar/vendor behind the unit and some nights it was quite loud and played until very late.. 3-4am. I didn’t know how to close the blinds properly, once I did it blocked the noise pretty good! Otherwise, the place is great option to visit Rio. It was my 2nd time here in Rio, and my boyfriend came with me and it was a perfect spot for him to experience the city the first time!
