Hasan is the best host ever! Him and his wife are very friendly and will give you an overview of the neighborhood and tips on places to visit and stay safe. They are willing to work with you on early check in and check out. The studio is very clean and in a great location with a nice view. It contains everything that you will need and makes you feel like home. The best part is that is is only a block away from the beach and it has 24 hour security. I will definitely stay here again next time I visit Rio.
