Arno and Igor welcomed us with useful tips about the neighborhood, and a fridge full of all the ingredients you need to make a delicious caipirinha.
The studio is located right below the Sugarloaf, in a very safe and peaceful neighborhood called Urca. From there, all the tourist attractions are easily accessible by taking a bus or calling an Uber.
In the building lives Mihay, Igor's brother, who is a very friendly and talented musician. He gave us his CD and invited us to his concert, where we had an awesome time! It really made out stay even more special.
If you're a solo traveler or a couple staying in Rio, this is one of the best places you can find!
