I loved my stay, so here's a little pros and cons:
pros:
- absolutely incredible location! Close to supermarkets, restaurants, bars, public transportation, super close to the beach
- stylish and cool. I loved the tile flooring and the ladder with the lights above the bed
- Wi-Fi is excellent
- communication with host is excellent
- friendly doormen
cons:
- the wall mounted air conditioner above the bathroom needed to be serviced (minimal cold air) but they are going to get it checked out for future guests
- bed is very firm (but if you like a firm bed you'll love it)
- pretty noisy street/car noise being on a busy corner
- Rio was too expensive for Carnaval being canceled
