Great location - close to the beach, supermarket and restaurant. Sonia's communication is great and she is very helpful. We unfortunately did have some trouble checking in, however I think it is an isolated incident. My suggestion is that if you are visiting from a different country, make sure everyone is clear on when you will be arriving to avoid being stranded in the street. Overall though, good place to stay in Rio if you are travelling and it is close to everything that you'll need
