Our stay at Patricia's apartment far exceeded our expectations. It was the perfect location and size for 3 girls visiting Rio for the first time. With 3 beds (a double bed, day bed and pull-out mattress), it fit us - and all our bags - more than comfortably. The 1-block walk to Ipanema beach (right near the action at posto 9) and proximity to the metro couldn't have been more convenient. Patricia was a gracious and helpful host. I can't recommend Lindo Studio highly enough! First time using Airbnb = total success thanks to her.
