To be fair I paid last minute $650 for a bnb the week of carnival , you get what you pay for. Check in was easy & the neighborhood was safe. I will suggest bringing your own towels or buying some when you arrived because the towels are cheap and been used too many times. The AC does not cool the room to my preference. The room was equipped with a fan that is extremely loud. The pool area is great and the store downstairs is clutch. Our first night the power went out which left the room hot but power was restored in morning & did not go out again. Uber was easy 2 catch and the bnb is about a 35 min ride 2 the airport. Getting to other parts of Rio isn’t hard from this location. The elevators are slow at times but maybe to be expected during a business weekend. I got what I paid for. Of course I preferred a higher quality and more amenities but to be honest for the price it was good enough. I wouldn’t stay again just because I like a higher standard but not bad for price and safe
