The good things: Sedinir and his wife were very welcoming and helpful. The wifi was very good! The location was good. Overall a good choice if you're traveling on a budget and want to be in the Center of Downtown Rio.
The not so good things (I will admit I am a bit picky): The apartment was darker than pictured, and I was looking specifically for a very well-lit place. Also I noticed a lot of noise from the street and I was specifically looking for a quiet place. The shower is a bit difficult to use. There were a lot of bugs. Overall, it's a good place if you're not too picky!
