    Albeit the staff doesnt speak English, they are very kind. The kitchen is clean and there's everything that's needed to cook. The AC in the rooms is great and so relaxing to enter the rooms after a hot day walking around the city!

    A nice little place to stay, in a good location. Quite basic, but clean and very good value for money. Sadly we didn't get to meet our host, but we enjoyed our stay and would definitely return if/when we next visit Rio.
