Excellent place to stay. Centrally located next to the beach, the metro, good restaurants, 24/7 grocery stores and more. My girlfriend and I both felt very safe in the neighborhood. The wifi was perfect also throughout our 2 week trip, especially considering we worked from both our computers taking constant zoom calls. Lastly, our host, Fatima was sooo great to work with. She was flexible, kind and a great communicator. I look forward to returning to Rio and staying here again.
