Wonderful location close to posto 11 Leblon beach and very easy access to the metro at Antero de Quental and many other local bus routes. Also, just a quick walk to Lagoa and there's a very convenient supermarket just down the street. The place is safe and has 24h reception service. It could use a nice A/C. There are fans, which do help, but Rio can get very hot in the summer. All in all, well worth the stay to me!
