A couple cons that people should know about before booking:
1. There are six flights of stairs. The floors are: (1) garage, (2) patio & two bedrooms, (3) living room and kitchen, (4) more bedrooms, (5) churrasco (grill) area, (6) pool. If anyone in your group can't do several flights of stairs all the time, then this won't be a good space for you.
2. You can smell mold. This was okay for us, we opened the windows and things freshened up in a day. However, if you have allergies or are otherwise sensitive to mold, you will be uncomfortable in this house.
3. AC in the bed rooms is very loud.
The pros:
1. Vista MARAVILHOSA. An amazing view of Rio and even amazing from the fifth floor.
2. Very nice pool.
3. Spacious churrasco area.
4. Very large house, lots of space for a bigger group to hand out.
