Good location, but back side neighborhood is a bit dingy (Ipanema). Would definitely stay here again when in Rio.
Thanks much for the review, sounds like a great place to be for a few days. I'll keep the restaurant in mind.

Anyone else have any input regarding going to a match at Maracana? I was just in Panama City last weekend and happened to be there for the Panama vs. Uruguay friendly last Friday. Wife and I, along with a friend, all went to it and had a good time, even if the match itself was a tad slow for the most part. The crowd around us was quite entertaining.
