If you are staying at the west end of the beach (Posto 5) , I have used those on the beach end of rua Xavier de Silveira with no problems.
"Blame it on Rio" behind the parked Chevrolet and "Red walls" on the left hand side.

Like I said before, my US dollars netted me a better rate than the "official" (xe.com) rate.
That was not the case with my home country Euros.

Just change in your home country the money you need to use for the first day.
Changing money in the airport is not interesting. They sell reais more expensive and you also have to pay taxes.

Not a big deal. You want to take the subway in Uruguayan, just take it, I take the subway and also get off in carioca.
Now I am in Sao Paulo enjoying UBER.
Not big deal.

Rio is not Tokyo, but the subway in Rio de Janeiro work very well. Other transports in Rio really suck, I often go to carioca around 11:55, and I take the subway and arrive in copacabana around 12:20. The trains continue working, because they have to finish their path, but the desks and the door are closed at 12. Yes like everywhere we have to go earlier, not only in Rio. I just said the subway closes at 12 so after midnight it is no use going to the metro. This problem is not only in Rio de Janeiro, Even in Tokyo if you don't go early you might miss the train because the line is fucking long in Tokyo.
P.S. Not a big deal.

A quick search of google maps shows the details.

It's a longer walk from 4x4 to the Carioca stop. Don't believe me, do a search.
Plus, if a guy doesn't have a metro card paid in advance, then you risk missing the last train. That's why I said go earlier. Plus, if you wait to leave 4 x4 until 11.50, they might have the gate closed already.
I have been there before 12.00 in the past and there was no train coming. Rio is NOT the USA, Europe, or Japan where most trains run on time / schedule. They can and will close the gates when they want.
I prefer to be safe than sorry.
