My girlfriend and I stayed at Marcelo's place for 2.5 weeks for Carnival and don't have a bad thing to say. We loved our stay. From the start Marcelo communicated quick and even allowed us to drop off our luggage early so we could go to the beach since we had to take an overnight bus from Sao Paolo and had no where to go in the morning. The place is beautiful, the bed comfortable, the Wifi is fast and worked perfect for my Zoom calls, and it was in a great location. Only two blocks from Copacabana Beach. We loved waking up early in the morning to go bike riding, walking over to Ipanema to enjoy the sunsets and the beach as well as many other things to do like Tijuca, Christo Redentor, etc are very close. Marcelo was always there to help me out and even helped us find a street bloco for Carnival (which I couldn't find and we ended up going together). This is probably one of the best reviews I've left on Airbnb and it's for all good reason. Thank you again for everything Marcelo and Sandra. We appreciate everything and had an amazing trip to Rio. Highly recommended!
