Marcus was by far the best airbnb host I have had - communicative and responds extremely quickly. He gave us recommendations on things to do, and was even flexible with the checkout time as our flight plan changed last minute. The apartment is in the perfect location to walk to both Copacobana and Ipanema beaches, and it's in a safe location close to many great places to eat and things to do. This was perfect and we couldn't have asked for a better place or host. Thank you!
