I enjoyed my stay in this room while in Rio. It felt like a mini palace. A private, secure gate to enter from street, an elevator up to 8th floor, clean room with nice furniture, automatic hot water for shower, and large closet and drawers to make you feel at home rather than a hotel.
Maria was flexible with my arrival time which was very helpful.
The location was convenient to the Lagoa since I needed to walk there just about every day for my Outrigger Canoe Sprint races.
A large food store, places to buy snacks and banks are nearby.
It's also comforting to know the beach is only ~1 block away with workout stations along the path.
For a single girl walking around at night or early morning, I felt safe.
All in all it was a pleasant stay, I'd recommend it.
