If you are thinking of booking, don’t think again, this place is wonderful. Marcia is just as wonderful and gave us a great welcome to rio with lots of tips and a walkthrough of do’s and dont’s of the city. The location is spectacular, just off Rua días Ferreira which has amazing restaurants and bars ( some of the best in the city ). In addition absolutely everything is next door (drugstore, supermarket, beach, Metro etc.) Two side notes: 1. there is only air conditioning at night, make sure this is ok with you. It was no problem for us because it was an open space with very good airflow. 2. We only had cold water in the jacuzzi and shower, it was fine with us because of the weather and very refreshing.
