1 main thing is location. When you go down Alessandro's place you'll Officina del Gelato at your right, Burger King to your left & Just across are 2 per kilo churrascarias, a supermarket & Guerin's, a sweets & coffee place.
Going to your left, just one left turn gets you facing Copacabana beach. One more block & you're there.
The room itself is exactly how the pictutes show.
The one negative was the Air Conditioner. While we were there it just blew wind but did not get the room cold at all. Something you want especially after being sunkissed. Alessandro was unable to resolve the issue in our 5 nite stay in his place.
Overall, as long as the AC issue gets resolved. I would 100% recommend & will definitely return.
