Brux is a very responsive and accommodating host. He offered an early check in and was very flexible with regard to checking out—once he had no other guests checking in that day. The studio/kitchenette is small, but very clean and conveniently located—ideal for a person or a couple—it’s also equipped with all kinds of appliances and walking distance to restaurants, atms and grocery stores. Ipanema beach is a short walk away and so is Copacabana—if you wish to explore. I recommend the city bikes for a stroll along Lagoa. Also, Posto 10 is cleaner and has a more relaxed vibe than Postos 8/9. Have fun in Rio!
