This place was great! I actually stayed here before & after my surgery in Rio and it was the perfect place. It's just like the pictures, and the kitchen is fully stocked. They even have Tupperware--like TONS of it--to save leftovers. I washed clothes and they dried quickly. The doormen that stay till 8 are very friendly. Good location, big grocery store 10 min walk and many bars even closer. It IS actually really quiet, I NEVER heard the neighbors, and I felt that I could play the TV pretty loud without fear of disturbing anyone!
