Perfect spot! The apartment is neat and peaceful yet it is well situated very close to the beach (3 blocks away). The communication with Marcio was on point. He reached out to me before I arrived and was very thorough with his explanation about everything to make sure I arrived well. Marcio was also very helpful and accommodating while I stayed at his apartment. His cat is extremely friendly as well. I had a great Rio/Carnaval experience there and I highly recommend his apartment.
