This place was perfect for a long-term stay in Rio. The studio is super cute and well-designed, and Louri and Renato are warm and helpful hosts. They have the sweetest mini dogs and try to make a family environment with the people that stay there. Louri lent me a cell phone, helped arrange travel outside of Rio--really, above and beyond. It is close to both Copacabana and Ipanema and a ton of buses and taxis pass constantly on Av. N.S. Copacabana, two minutes away. So, so convenient. When I come back to Rio, I look forward to returning to my new home there...
