I liked the studio SO MUCH, that I booked it twice on my last trip to Brazil!!!!
The view to the beach is stunning!! A great start of a day. The location is perfect with a very good cafe below the building to one side and the excellent restaurant "Joaquina" to the seafront side. A couple of minutes walk from the building is the well assorted supermarket Zona Sul, with a good breakfast buffet, including a good selection of fresh fuit, bread and pastries.
The studio is cosy, very clean, had all we needed and is relatively close to the metro station Arcoverde.
Marcia and John were perfect hosts!! Communication was always fast and accurate. John shared with us a brief guide he wrote with several tips about the city, what was very useful throughout our stays. Both hosts were very receptive and we felt welcome.
On my next trip to Rio, I will book the studio again. Look forward to it!!
