The studio was great for exploring Lapa and surrounding neighborhoods. Just as described. The building had some nice amenities like a steam bath, gym, rooftop pool etc.. which we took advantage of.
I was traveling with a friend, so we split apart the "king" bed into 2 single beds, and it worked out great.
We had a rental car and it was pretty cheap to just keep it parked in the adjacent indoor parking lot. The doormen were a great help, despite speaking no english.
