The House is renovated and very stylish. It depends which Room you are booking and which Floor. Unfortunately my room was in the cellar, so there was not enough light and it smelled very bad. We couldn't open the window as the Mosquitos and other insects were coming inside. An insect bit me during I sleped so had to take medicine for it, and even after a week is still not healed. The House is on a street that leads to a Favela, not very nice neighbourhood. To the Copacabana Beach it takes 5 minutes walking and to Ipanema Beach 10 minutes. The guys that are renting are very nice and helpfull.
