Casa Convivio guests


Rafael, 19 years old, from Miami:

'I loved living at the Casa. The accomodations were fitting for my needs and I especially appreciated the fact that I could hook up my laptop to a high-speed connection and do some of my volunteer web design work for a Rio-based NGO right from the Casa. I had a great time sharing my two months here in Rio with other fun young foreign nationals. I forged some great friendships with the folks here and in the end it felt like we were all a big family, which really made my trip to Rio worthwhile. This was a much better choice than renting a room by myself somewhere and being bored all of the time. The location in Botafogo was extremely convenient, as it is surrounded by shops and restaurants, is near the Metro, is right next to a huge mall, and was right in between my volunteer job in the North Zone and the party Mecca of the South Zone. All in all, I highly recommend the Casa Convivio!'


Marc, 28 years old, from Hawaii:

' Im so glad I found Casa Convivio. I was semi-paranoid when I arrived to Rio but after I moved in it really put me at ease. The neighborhood and building itself is really safe and peaceful, the rooms are really spacious and nice, the kitchen and living room have everything you could need, and I liked that it was so close to everything. Best of all, I loved living with so many cool people from all over the world and there was never a shortage of things to do. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone planning to visit Rio!'

Elisa, 22 years old, from Italy:
' Do you want to stay in Rio and live in a place where you feel at home???? Casa Convivio is the right place! I lived one of the best experiences of my life in this house, and if it would be possible, I'd like to come back and do everything again! I loved the city, the apartment, but above all the beautiful persons that I found there!
I'll never forget casa convivio!
Another reason is that it's a very comfortable apartment, in the heart of Rio, nearby everything! The busstop is in front of the door and the metrostop is very near too. Just walk a few minutes and you can find everything (supermarket, laundry service, bar, cinema, commercial center...) '
