You can’t beat the location, the value, the convenience. It’s a no frills place perfect for getting a great night’s sleep before hitting Ipanema, Copacabana, Lapa, Santa Teresa, and everything else Rio has to offer. I had a Great stay. Marcela was super responsive, everything was super convenient and easy (which was really nice since it was my first time in Rio and I didn’t have my bearings yet). Everything is walkable or a short Uber away. You’re down the block from one of the best Italian restaurants in Rio and lots of Brazilian food and juices to be had everywhere. Sunset pics on Ipanema only a 5 min walk away. It’s a great homebase to explore the city. It also felt super safe and secure.
