This is a great place to stay in Rio! The room is just like in the photos and the bed was comfortable and clean. The proximity to the Sheraton made it easy to get Taxis to and from...as it's only a 5 min walk (and the Sheraton is easy for taxi drivers). We enjoyed the beach and were able to walk to great restaurants. A real bonus was going up through Jeanne's home (above on the hill) and to the local, quiet park with amazing views. I agree with other visitors though...there are stairs so you need to have some degree of fitness.
