Everything was great, the place is really comfortable and amazing. We were 5 guests, friends from University, each stayed in one of the 5 rooms, all of which had bathrooms. They varied in size and style/comfort, but were perfectly adequate and equipped. The common spaces are truly great, the rooftop terrace has a small but functional pool that allowed us to relax after going to the beach. The location is excellent, close to everything and felt safe (for Rio standards!). We found that Gilles is a responsive and flexible host, he was there to show us the place and then let us enjoy everything without lots of rules and instructions. I guess that's what you need in host: he was available when needed, flexible when asked, and accomodating when requested. It is really a hughe and comfortable price, very reasonably priced and more than adequately equipped and maintained. Would recommend to anyone and hope to stay again soon!
