I stayed in this studio for three months while doing research for my PhD in Rio and really enjoyed my stay. The place is cosy and just as in the photos. The location is great, right in the middle of Lapa but not a lot of noise as it is on the 9th floor facing santa teresa. This also means a nice view from the window! The metro is about 10 minutes walking and many busses stop really close-by. Fabiana is a great host, very responsive and always asking if there was anything I needed. Would definitely recommend!
