We had a good time at Hugo's place and would recommend it for its comfy bed and convenient location (a block from Copacabana beach, across the street from a supermarket, near many restaurants and bars), but there's also some room for improvement. We stayed for 4 nights around New Years, here's our thoughts:
Pros
- Stylishly furnished, comfy bed
- Convenient location one block from Copacabana beach
- Cool retro building that looks straight out of a Wes Anderson movie
Cons
- We thought the studio was a bit small (a couple traveling with a lot of luggage might have trouble finding room for it)
- Not much natural light
- Toilet flush is problematic to say the least
- No water filtering system (common in most Brazilian homes due to the fact that you can't drink from the tap in Brazil)
- Overpriced taking everything into consideration
All in all we'd stay again if price was reduced as Hugo also seemed to be a nice and welcoming person.
