This is an excellent place to stay. It is accurately described. It has the most magnificent view of Guanabara Bay that is simply incredible. The studio is well arranged and a nice place to stay, it was clean, quiet and secure. It is about seven minutes from the Metro and there is a bus stop outside the apartment block. It is close to Catete Palace, which was the Brazilian White House until 1960, and has a lovely garden to read and relax. It is opposite Flamenco Park. Shops are close at Catete and Largo do Machado. There is a pleasant Italian on the corner, Sante Fe though we really liked the restaurant at the Windsor Florida which is only a few streets away. Laura was a brilliant host and we absolutely no complaints, I hope to stay there again (if its available).
