Alan and Catherine are wonderful hosts and communication through out the entire process was speedily and accurate. The studio is tastefully decorated and has a clever use of space. It's located in a quiet street in the heart of Copacabana, a block from the metro and couple of blocks from the beach. As someone who grew up spending most of my summers in Rio, I found Alan and Catherine's city guide spot on! Follow their advice and spend your time in Rio like a real 'carioca'. In sum, I highly recommend their lovely studio in Copa.
