Pros:
- Fantastic location. Close to taxis, great restaurants and the beach. Very walkable community.
- The security guard was great and very helpful -- as were the other residents.
- The 3 bathrooms helped us get ready, though only one of them was easy to use with hot water.
- The beds were comfortable.

Cons:
- You needed a lighter or matches to turn the hot water on in 2 of the 3 bathrooms it was a bit annoying, so we just showered in the automatic hot water bathroom.
- The refrigerator didn't close. I felt bad because that's a waste of electricity and we tried many things to close it, but it just didn't work.
- The washer didn't wash clothes? I may have used it incorrectly, but it just spun for over an hour and the water didn't drain.
- The new AirBnB guests arrived at 1030 the day I checked-out. While they were friendly, it was a bit of an annoyance since check out wasn't until noon and the new check-in wasn't until 2pm.
- The AC's in the living room blew warm air. Thankfully it was winter in Rio when we visited so it wasn't too big of a deal. I can imagine that's frustrating during the summer though.

Since we were there to visit Rio and celebrate the World Cup, we didn't stay inside the unit much. The location was great, though there are things to improve. Since we were barely inside, it was sufficient for us.
