A wonderful location and well suited to our group of 5. Two very comfortable bedrooms and a couch for the kid. Like most places in Brazil, the on demand water heater needs some fiddling but we got it to work. My only criticism would be that the flat is up a couple of flights of stairs....if packing you bags upstairs is not to your liking I would think about it. Having said that, I would stay here again when I return to Rio.....
