The location was amazing! Very central to everything we were hoping to do in Rio and on a relatively quiet street. Great sound system for playing music as well.
However, the AC in the unit gave out halfway through our stay and because the connected bathroom’s door did not close all the way, we were unable to block the hot air from our rooms.
My biggest issue was that Luisa asked to meet in person for check in, but even though I told her that I was not going to have service when I arrived, she was not waiting outside the gate to greet me. Thankfully I was able to communicate with my taxi driver and he was kind enough to let me use his phone to call her and let her know I had arrived. If he had not been willing to lend me his phone, I would have been stuck outside the gated entrance with no way to contact her.
