The only minor issue is that you hear everything people do right outside your room a little too well. I would still recommend this room to all my friends, though! The experience was great!

Pros: Great location (beautiful and safest area in Rio), very clean, good air conditioner and wifi, reasonably quiet, very friendly and helpful hosts. Cons: Place is very small, bathroom walls open into the room, sofa-bed is not very comfortable. Great for one person, for two people it is a bit uncomfortable.

The location is one of the best in Brazil! It's quite, safe, cozy and walking distance from everything you need from the super market to the bus. Not to mention the beautiful view of the bay with the Christ statue standing tall! The images of the room are exact with no surprises. I can not wait to go back and stay for my third time, these are professional. So book with confidence! And enjoy. Thanks again Igor & Arno until next time.

The studio was very clean. Furthermore it is very easy to comunicate with Igor and Arno, they are very welcoming and will help you with any problem. The studio is located in Urca, a very quiet neibourhood, it is quite a bit away from the city center or the copacabana but with uber you can get quite and as well cheap to the city an back at any time in the day, public transport is a bit more complicated. The studio is quite small and has obly a very narrow double bed.

We couldn't recommend Arno & Igor's studio enough! We stayed in Rio for 5 weeks and several times throughout our trip we had to pause and appreciate how lucky we were to somewhat randomly end up in such a good situation! Urca is a perfect place to stay - safe, scenic, and quaint. All of the busses you may need to take come right through to the end of town and there is a Rio Bike station as well (do your research or send us a message if you want to register because it can be difficult)! Urca's location makes it perfect for easily getting to all of the must-see spots - Christo, Sugarloaf, Copa, Ipanema, Lapa, as well as the airports and bus station! Almost every night, the waterfront wall is bustling with people drinking beers, playing music, and overlooking Christo! There are A few restaurants in the neighborhood that are quite good, a nice grocery store, and most other things you might need. The room itself is a bit small, but it's well equipped and very charming... not too mention very safe and secluded! As for the hosts... Arno & Igor were the best we could have asked for. Helpful, responsive, and welcoming in the best of ways. We texted them almost every other day and they were always beyond happy to help out, give us information, and even get us out of a sticky situation when we lost our debit cards! Thank you so much Arno & Igor for making our time in Rio so memorable!!!

Everything was perfect! Arno is very receptive. The Studio was very clean. I recommend and will return for sure.

Arno and Igor were great hosts, very helpful and responsive! The place is small, but you have everything you need and the location is great.
