The host is very nice and hospitable, with regard to location you should decide what you want to do in Rio, becuase it is located very high and you shoud take either the taxi or could be very exhausted when you arrives home. But if you are not a hiking lover you could stay at nice swimmimg pool area with a gym and 2 types of sauna.
The bed is rather small for a couple and due to the absence of air conditioning was very difficult to fall asleep, we had a ventilator as an option but it was very loudly. I recommend to check the current situation with wardrobe, becuase it was closed during our stay and we lived with opened bags in the center of the room and closed large wardrobe (but Liene did her best to reduce the consequences of this problem). You must be a cat-lover as well)
