My stay at Alex and Anastasia's studio was FANTASTIC! The studio is super modern, comfortable, and has all needed amenities for a great stay in Rio. The location cannot be beat: close to the beach, public transportation, restaurants, scenic areas, local bars, grocery store, etc. Alex is an amazing host: very attentive and full of helpful information. I felt extremely welcomed, which made me enjoy the place even more. I think that I have found my preferred place of lodging when visiting Rio for business or for pleasure. Beats the Marriott, where I normally stay! Thanks, Alex and Anastasia! Looking forward to my return!
