This was a mommy-daughter trip to Rio. Great location, it did not disappoint as it is right around the corner from the beach. I took away a star for the small ant problem they have. The ants are harmless, tiny tiny ants but they are a nuisance. We couldn’t really have snacks (or enjoy them in peace), so the little snack and food trash we had we stored in the fridge. Even when we had no food they would crawl on our clothes, lotions, soap (looking for food). Before we left I shook out all of our clothes to make sure I wasn’t taking any with us. So there’s that, not the end of the world but a little annoying. The couch is very comfortable. No issues with the neighbors. I recommend bringing your own towels, wash clothes, and soap like we did theirs were scratchy and smell a little. I am American. I didn’t need an electric converter, at least 3 sockets were dual. Only enough hot water for 1 person but the weather is hot so it wasn’t a big deal. We felt 100% safe, that was a plus.
