I stayed in the studio for 4 days with a friend and it was perfect! It was recommended to me by my cousin Mercedes who had stayed there previously. She talked wonders about the hosts and the place and fortunately it was all true and more! Before going, Catherine made sure that we had everything we needed. All our communications were really helpful and clear. Such attention to detail and genuine concern to make our stay smooth is hard to come by! The recommendations she sent us with places to go to were amazing, especially the restaurants! The studio itself is well located, near the beach, the metro and in a safe area. Everything inside is new and works perfectly. Internet connection is wonderful! Porters are nice and inclined to help. All in all, a perfect stay in Rio!!
