This was my second time staying in Ricardo and Raquel studio. It was more than great. They made feel part of the family. They are always happy to show me new place and advise me where else to go / visit in Rio. The studio is very centric to all amenities and if you like going party is just right in the corner. If you would like going to the beach is literally within 20 mins in bus, markets/ traditional restaurants/ cinema .. very close and convenience. I would again recommend this studio to spend your holidays in Rio.
