I had a great time! The studio was exactly as it was described and was in a great location: 100m from the beach, safe neighborhood, and courteous neighbors. Marcelo Henrique is awesome! He stocked the studio's kitchen, helped me get tickets to the Sambadroma during days before the parade, helped me get to the parade, and even explained it to me. When I return to Rio, I will try to first look for this listing.
