Alex is a great host and is really helpful. He likes to give all the information you need to have a great time in Rio. We joined the discovery by car with Alex. From 08:30 till 18:00 Alex brings you to the most beautiful and unexplored places of Rio. During the trip he tells a lot about the local habits and funny facts. The studio is in a safe neighbourhood near Copacabana and metro (5 minutes walk). In the near area of this place there are a lot of shops, like a 24h supermarket, restaurants and ‘Hutti Frutty’ where you can buy awesome fruit shakes. The studio it self is small (25m2), you need to transform the Sofa in to a bed. This place is well decorate and with a lot of gadgets. We really recommend this place for max 2 persons how are looking for a safe place near the Copacabana.
