Overall, a good place to stay at. Strengths: Responsive host, location, building, and building staff. What you should know: Beautiful view of ocean but very small view of the actual beach, AC in living room was not working, some issues during check in that were resolved the second day. I would stay at this place again, especially if you want the experience of feeling like you're living in a building where middle to upper middle class Cariocas live.
