We stayed here for four nights. It is an excellent location, very convenient to the selaron steps. You don’t even feel like you are in Rio. The place is definitely rustic but so so charming. I would absolutely stay here again for an extended stay. The kitchen could use an upgrading so I would not plan on doing a whole lot of cooking here. Mosquitoes were not an issue at all during the month of July. We did have an invasion of some other flying insects one evening at sundown but it subsided after about an hour.
