I have stayed for 18 days (during Christmas and New year) at Lacy's studio. Is a perfect place to stay if you would like to enjoy the beaches around (Copacabana, Ipanema, arpoador and leblon) which are just in a few walking minutes. Besides that there are a lot of shopping around where you can find all you need. The studio of Lacy is exactly as advertised: clean, comfortable and very well located. Check in and check out are easy to do without many formalities and all the safety you need. I highly recommend Lacy's place for your stay.
