    Having been to Rio many times, I love to stay where the locals are and Flamengo is the perfect place for that. Safe, great places to visit and close to everything. The hotel buffet breakfast is always great at a Windsor, and then the set menu or buffet for the evening is also really good! And on top of that, the staff are always so friendly and helpful!
