PROS: Great location. Close to Copacabana & Ipanema
Condo is larger than 700sq that is stated.
Valeria is an excellent host and very responsive.
Easy to hail cabs.
Close to subway.
Cabin kitchen.
Washer

CONS:
If taking a cab home, it is hard to get dropped off in front of the condo because of the interchange.
While the condo and sleep 6, the 5 or more people the condo is very tight.
Also the AC is only in the front rooms. In the summer the 3rd bedroom will not get any AC.

OVERALL:
Great place and I would stay gain in a heart beat. NOTE: Other reviews who had issues with the hot water have a point... but the water does get HOT, it just take a minute for the gas heater to work. It will give you unlimited hot water. Most condos in Rio ( and Brazil ) run their hot water this way.
