The room/studio looks exactly like the photos. It is really more a room than an "entire place" given that you share the main door and will be in constant contact with others, but given the helpfulness of the host and others (i.e. Neia and Fabiana who help maintain the place) and the price of the room/studio, you cannot go wrong with this room/studio. The location is great, only a couple of blocks from Copacabana beach, a couple of blocks from Cantagalo metro station, half a block from a bus stop, and surrounded by supermarkets, shops, and restos. At the time that I was staying, Danny was making some renovations in the kitchen adjacent to the room, but he was considerate enough to do it only during working hours. I would go back.
