Me and my husband stayed in Rio for a week and Rodrigo’s place was everything that we’re looking for and more. The studio was clean, organized and it seemed like Rod had literally thought of everything that one might need. The kitchen was stocked and ready for the arrival of thirsty travelers, there were M&Ms in a jar to snack on, the bathroom had cute soaps and nice-smelling shampoo. He had written clear instructions on how to use the AC and safe, and we were very happy with the electronic lock on the front door (no need to worry about keys!). He even had longboards and kangas waiting for us in case we wanted to head straight to the beach! The attention to detail in his studio was impressive and everything was done in a way that would make our life easy. He also gave us great tips about local restaurants and bars, many of which we visited. The neighborhood was probably one of the best places to stay in Rio, with bars, restos and two beaches within walking distance. Rodrigo was very responsive the whole time, just a great host altogether! Thanks for having us, we would love to stay with you again when we are in Rio, Rod! You are an exemplary host and and we will recommend your studio to everyone we know :)
