This is a fantastic deal in Rio--don't miss it. The place is extremely small, but if that doesn't bother you, then this studio is great. Alex and Anastasia were wonderful to work with--extremely responsive both online and when we were in Rio. For example, there were no coffee cups, and Alex went out and bought them for us within 2 hours and was happy to do it. Amazing service.

PROS: Excellent use of space for a tiny apartment, quiet, great blackout curtain for sleeping, hot shower, functional kitchen, hard bed (we like this, but some may not), GREAT pillows, great TV, okay A/C (it took a while to get the place cold, but it did eventually cool off), water purifier.

CONS: Slow internet. There are two systems so when one isn't great the other is available, but both are kind of slow. Older towels, and only 2 available.
