Our stay in Marcos' apartment was great. It is located in a great neighborhood with many shops, cafés, restaurants and bars. The beach is within walking distance (approximately 5 minutes).
The apartment is well-funrished and well-equipped, it is luminous, really comfortable and very calm despite its great location right between Leblon and Ipanema. I can recommend it to everyone who wants to spent a great time in Rio.
Marcos is a super nice host and was very helpful, flexible and responsive. We would always (and hope to) come back.
