This is a very well located place. It is very close to the beach and offers both access to a walkable neighborhood as well as a nice view of the rainforest behind it. Marcelo and Miriam provide a complete orientation to the place, the neighborhood, as well as information about the city. They are very generous by offering extra amenities such as coffee, crackers, as well as the basic condiments you may need if you want to cook something easy. The place has everything you need and more. They thought about everything including an adapter for those of us who forgot that Rio uses a different connection system to electricity. Overall a great place to stay.
