The studio is at a very convenient location. With supermarkets and van stop to the Christ the Redeemer just downstairs. Of coz, it's a great convenience to walk to the Copacabana beach! The studio itself is not a fancy one but with basic things that u need as a travelers, a washing machine is a bonus. Alline is not living in Rio but her mother is living near the apartment. Both of them are very helpful and respond very quickly to my questions and problems.
