Great host, great location - very safe and secure. Shower works well, bed is comfy and the tv works well. WiFi is excellent. The complimentary drinks were most appreciated.
We had some small issues but Jose sorted them out immediately.
There are supermarkets almost everywhere you look but also some good restaurants. There's a great ice cream shop on the left. 2 min walk to Copacabana and 5 min to ipanema. Metro is close by as well.
