I would really reccomend staying here, especially if your looking to stay for longer than a couple of weeks...I stayed here for a month and a half and the location is great as your literally right between Lapa and Gloria, close to Flamengo beach, cheap and huge supermarket only 10 minute walk away, bars and resturants 5 minutes walk, metro and access to city bikes 10 minute walk and the actual space and location is in a quiet and peaceful area. Bedroom and house are cleaned weekly and its a really relaxing, comfortable space with great kitchen utensiles.
