The place is ideally located in Lapa, in a nice building on the main avenue (mem de sa). It has 24h doorman. Daniella is a very good host, responsive and always willing to resolve problems.
The AC works great, it has hot water (shower a bit small). The studio is well organized. Daniella gave me clean bedsheets and towels.
Unfortunately the studio is located on the ground floor so it has a bug problem. Many mosquitoes, got bitten a lot during my stay (despite the repellent and spray that Daniella arranged quickly). Even got bitten in the face the first night which made my eye swollen for a few days.
Also saw several cockroaches (baratas) there. 6 the first night and then a few here and there.
If you want to avoid the bugs I recommend a place higher up in the building.
I really hope this bug problem gets resolved and the place becomes amazing.
