The location was great. Right in between Ipanema & Copacabana. The place had filtered water which was a huge bonus for rio. The couch was not comfortable however the tv was great & modern. The pillows and sheets/comforter were a little thin for American standards. I give it 5 stars for value and location. I did have an issue not having a light installed on the stay, other than that was fine and there was a doorman with 2 elevators.
