We stayed here for a week as part of a longer trip. It was very clean and had very comfortable amenities There is a lovely view of the bay just outside the front gate and there are a few restaurants just a block away, where we got coffee each morning. The best part of staying here was being just a 15-20 min walk from Praia Vermelha (smaller, more tranquil oceanside beach than Cococabana/Ipanema) and Sugarloaf Mountain (where you can walk on a trail overlooking the ocean as well as on a longer trail through the forest.)
