First off Deborah was very nice and answered all of my questions and concerns. She suggested using uber as transportation and that saved us lots of $. The location is perfect because you literally are in the middle of Rio. Minutes away from Maracana and Copacabana. A few more minutes and you will be by the Corcovado etc. There is a supermarket right next to the studio and we picked up all necessities. The only small thing I would say is that when it rained strongly the air condition can make some annoying sounds that make it hard to sleep. But that's Mother Nature for you lol !!! We would definitely come back again!
