I stayed at this studio for a whole month and loved it. The area is absolutely fantastic and it's within two or three blocks from all you will need: the beach (one block away!), tube station, bus stops, supermarkets, restaurants and trendy bars in the corner. The flat is lovely and is exactly as shown in the pictures (actually pretty big for a studio, and carefully decorated in an arty way). It's in the nicest area of Copacabana (30 min walk to Ipanema). While the windows face an internal patio, the flat has natural light and this is what makes it very quiet, despite being surrounded by bars and restaurants. It can get a bit hot inside, but Giovanna has just bought a new aircon which allows you to stay cool inside in spite of the 40 degrees outside. It's good to go out, though. She is the perfect host - anything you may need, she will reply within seconds via whatsapp and will try to sort it out (i.e. a new iron, a toaster, a new aircon, a plug, etc). Truly recommend this studio.
