We stayed at this house for the Olympics since the events we came to watch where at the Deodoro venue. The house was as advertised, big enough for 4-5 people, with good features and great proximity to the Deodoro venue. There is a convenient neighborhood grocery store and the Bangu Shopping Center is a short Uber ride away. We took Uber many times from the house with no problems. I would not walk to the train station -- it seemed a little sketchy near the station.
