We really enjoyed our trip to Rio, largely because of the convenient location of this studio. It’s a few blocks from a Metro station and on plenty of bus routes into Botafogo, Ipanema and beyond. There are loads of supermarkets and a few eateries in the area and, most importantly, you’re just a few minutes’ walk to Copacabana beach. All in all, a good base location for exploring Rio and a comfortable size for two people. Nice touches included cold beer waiting for us and Spotify playlist to give us a taste of Brazil.
We didn’t meet Rodrigo, but his communication prior to our trip was great. Clovis was our main contact while we were there and he was very friendly and welcoming. Our trip from the airport took longer than we expected and Clovis patiently waited for us. Before our arrival in Rio, there had been a destructive storm and more heavy rains were expected while we were in Rio, which Clovis messaged us about, giving us advice on what areas to avoid.
