I absolutely loved staying here! It was home for about 8 days to my mom and myself and we both were very comfortable and happy here. Rodrigo is an amazing host. He is always attentive to your needs and has in place so many amenities that you will not find elsewhere. From the decor to the snacks he leaves to welcome guests, Rodrigo really works hard to provide the most welcoming and cozy experience for his guests. The bed is very comfortable and easily sleeps two. If you feel like watching TV while you rest, Rodrigo also has tons of options for you to watch what you want (cable, AppleTV, Chromecast - all of which we used at one point or another lol). We were there in July, so it was even cool enough not to need the A/C. We kept the window open and the fan on at night and during the day and we still felt very cool. The location of the studio is also ideal. We walked every day less than 10 minutes each way to Copacabana and Ipanema beaches and the walks were always very pleasant. Getting transportation around town was also a breeze! There are so many taxis and buses that pass by even just across the street and the metro station is very close-by as well. On top of that there are tons of little shops, restaurants and farmers' markets, all again within walking distance. I HIGHLY recommend this place if you want to be in a nice, quiet neighborhood, close to the beach. I already know I will be back here the next time I go to Rio :)
