Staying at José Cláudio apartment was a good experience. It was very spacious for 2 people and well laid out. Even though it is a studio apartment, its space is well broken down into 3 separate areas: kitchen, living and bedroom, we really appreciated that fact.
José Cláudio was there for any questions we had.
The location was great as well. 2 blocks from the Metro, buses and shopping including supermarkets and a big shopping mall.
Overall we recommend this place for anyone visiting the south zone of Rio de Janeiro.
