Absolutely amazing location nearby the Downtown of Rio. There's a metro station nearby for you to easily access the area and it's better centrally located than the touristy hotspots of Ipanema and Copacabana, it's super easy to access the beach from a metro ride or uber. Lots of the downtown attractions are easily walkabe and is a short 10 minute walk to Lapa's amazing nightlife. I felt the area was safe and was able to walk around at night.
Internet was Blazing fast and there was a desk + chair that easily allowed me to get stuff done.
The AC worked great (very important since RIO is such a hot city). Host was also super responsive and helpful.
