The location can't be beat -- Plaza Rio de Janeiro has to be one of the most vibrant and happening spots in the entire city, though it quiets down decently in the evening. And for the price, it's a great value, as it has some character and charm. It's by no means the brightest place, and it has some limitations (not the warmest shower, the bed is a bit springy), but the host, location, and value, more than made up for that.
