Arno is an excellent host. He gave us more than enough instructions regarding restaurants nearby and how to use the public transport which is available also very close to the studio.
The studio is small but very nice and has everything what's necessary for feeling comfortable.
The neighborhood is fantastic. Just two blocks away from Urca bay and beach where on weekends lots of young people enjoy a wonderful view (you even can see Cristo) by relaxing with some cold drinks. Within only a 20 minutes walk from the studio you get to Sugarloaf.
Thanks a lot, Arno!
