My five weeks here were great, with my room next to the 13th floor penthouse deck. Fast and reliable internet. Just two minutes walk from Copacabana Beach. Lovely hospitality with rapid responses to any concerns. Throughout my time there I was overwhelmed with being in such a prime location where I could soak in the intense energy of Rio and go for an easy morning swim in the ocean before work, and walk easily to Ipanema Beach as well. I was very happy there and I was grateful to be alive!
