We had the best time at Ricardos studio. It is big but cozy and the view is incredible!
We stayed for two weeks and we will come back absolutely!
The studio has plenty of room for two, as tough it'd be a little bit crowded with four people in it.
Next to the Selaron stairways its placement couldn't be better.
If you follow ladeira de santa teresa and go up, you will find many nice little restaurants. If you descend the Selaron stairways you will find the night life of Rio de Janeiro as well as the metro and the buses.
Ricardo and his wive are really nice and helpful. They brought us cooking utensiles and fresh towels after a few days.
We can't do anything but recomend this place!
