We're sorry we didn't get to meet Marcio and Claudio (they were at an AirBnB function in San Francisco, but they had friends housestiiting and Talita and Douglas made us feel like old friends. They were wonderful and showed us Rio from a Carioca standpoint. The apartment was in a great location, just a block from the metro stion and was very quiet. The hustle and bustle of Copacabana was just a few blocks away, along with the beach. We loved Rio and already miss Apotose and Reposo, the cats. Thank you, Marcio and Claudio for making sure we were taken care of!
