We stayed for 4 nights in November 2011. The owner was very helpful and waited for us for 30 mins due to traffic delay. They showed us through the unit and how to use everything. We were happy that the photos represented all that we saw especially the view to the beach. The internet connection was good as we could skype our children.it is a cable connection about 150kB/sec so not fast but useable. The kitchen although small was still useable. The security was excellent with a door person to open the gate each time we entered or left. The owners provided lots of items for cleaning if needed and they left some fruit on the table plus some biscuits which were a nice touch. We would thoroughly recommend this unit to anyone going to Rio. Transport is easy the bus from the airport stops right on the corner if you tell them and when we returned we just crossed the busy road and the bus stopped. There were lots of food places and supermarkets within 300 metres of the unit. All in all we enjoyed ourselves
