Antonio was a most gracious host who showed me nothing but the best. This place has the comfort of a private residence with a comfortable bed with nice ventilation + fan. Keep in mind, this place in strong middle class neighborhood of Botofogo is conveniently located close to anywhere in the city. Shopping, metro, super market, cinema, banco, buses, taxi all within minutes. Copa, Ipanema, Leblon, Urca, Sugar Loaf, Lagoa, Santa Teresa, and Lapa 15-20 min max via taxi. Antonio was kind enough to show me the city where we took some time to enjoy a cocktail at a hip spot in Leblon. Simply amazing, somehow I felt like family more than a guest. Definately great value, huge room, comfy bed!!! Two thumbs up, he will notlet you down-
