We had an wonderful experience during our stay in Rio. The studio is clean and well organized and almost everything you may need is already provided. The location is wonderful: a few blocks from the beach and from the subway. There are a lot of interesting places to eat or to shop nearby, and Alan and Catherine did a great job providing a booklet with a lot of excellent tips. Although the studio is located in a very urban area, street noise was not an issue. I’ll certainly choose it for my next stay in Rio.
