Christian's place has been one of my favorite places to stay. It almost feels like you shouldn't be able to stay here b/c of how unique and in many cases storied the place looks. I found the place to be ample, comfortable, exciting, and mostly quiet (you are after all staying directly on the Plaza de Rio de Janeiro). I stayed here for a few weeks, and if I could I would have stayed longer. If you want to treat yourself to a singular place in a historic building, I highly recommend this spot.
