Gorgeous loft-feeling studio. Lots of light - the entire front is composed of huge windows overlooking the ocean. Entire place painted a crisp white which has a modern and airy feel. Space is also much bigger than I expected!

The full open kitchen and washer (with dryer!) is a rare find in studio apartments.

A note on the area:
Leme is probably my favorite place to be in Rio. You have the beach in front of you, easy access to SDU airport and downtown, and you can bike to Ipanema if you want a change of pace.
The neighborhood has bars & restaurants (from fancy to local), pharmacies, super market and padarias.

Bianca and her mom were lovely hosts and very relaxed - at the last minute I decided to stay another day and it was no issue at all.

I will definitely go back!
