Staying at Sonia's was simple, but great. The place is bare basics, but a great value in Rio. Sonia is a really sweet nice woman and was helpful during our stay. Because she is so busy, she is very particular about check in/check out times. So have a flexible schedule if you are booking this place. She got upset at me because I changed the check out time 4 times...which really meant she asked what time I'd like to check out, I told her I wasn't sure but would like to check out late as possible. She scheduled the check out for 8am and then I asked for 5pm and then told her anytime between 4 and 5 would work...guess this adds up to 4 times? Besides her frustration with this I'd still reccomend staying here.
