Amaurio and his wife are wonderful host.
Firstly he accepted the reservation while it was last minute.
They were always checking if everything was okay, if we needed something. Amaurio love to talk.
At first there was no Tv in the studio but then he brought a really big one, with google cast so you can watch netflix, youtube etc..
On the first day, they made us breakfast because we didn´t have any food and gave us beers.
The studio is quite big, with a big bed and the wifi is good.
They recommended and helped us with things to do in Rio.
They have a really really kind dog named GATO, we love him.
The house is situated on a hill so there is a wonderful view of the christ, pão de açucar etc...
we loved the fact that the studio has a balcony. ( with a view)
The rooftop is lovely, in addition to the view there is a nice pool.
Laranjeiras is a nice neighborhood, we felt safe. Even tho the house is on a hill you can walk down 15 min and you´re in the heart of Laranjeiras with everything you´ll need.
The negative points would be that the sink to wash dishes is small, at certain times of the day you can hear planes pass by the house. It was usually max 5 planes two times a day. Also there is a lot of stairs to go to the studio, so be aware.
But this shouldn´t stop you from booking because compare to the good things it was nothing.
To conclude i recommend 100%, we felt relaxed and welcomed. Felt like home.
