I just got back from spending two weeks in Rio de Janeiro for the Olympics. The location and the room were spot on. The location is in a safe neighborhood, with a 24hr. guard station. I love waking up every morning to the view of the Christ the Redeemer. Rosalia and her family were very gracious, friendly, and accommodating. The bedroom, bathroom, and balcony were cleaned every day. I would recommend this place in a heart beat, and would definitely come back to stay there again for Carnival. Many thanks to Rosalia and her husband for being a wonderful host!
