The location of Eumir's home is fantastic. It's right in the middle of a busy urban block in the heart of Rio, with all sorts of restaurants, coffee shops, and bodegas in the neighborhood. Most importantly, it's two blocks from the water! The place is very small, with poor AC (very loud in the bedroom and doesn't reach the living room), and it gets hot, so if you're looking for a "home" to relax in, this place is probably not for you. It's more of a crash pad... The shower did not have running hot water either, which was probably the most uncomfortable part of the stay. On the other hand, Eumir is a communicative host who is available to answer your questions when you have them and the location can not be beat.
