Amazing! Marcio and Claudio are incredibly warm and generous hosts. On our first day in Rio it was raining but Claudio took the trouble to prepare a "rainy day" itinerary for us. They were both so helpful in recommending excursions, booking taxis for us and making caipirinhas each evening. The breakfast they provide is probably the best breakfast I've ever had - coconuts, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereal, cooked eggs and sausage, juice, coffee, bread and cake! Marcio was very quick and clear in his communications before we arrived too.

The apartment was easy to find, is very conveniently located just behind the Cardeal Acoverde metro station and is very comfortable. The double room is spacious with a comfy bed and wireless internet. 1 minute walk to the petrol station which has a bakery and all you need for food and drink, and less than 10 minutes to the beach.

We really enjoyed our time in Rio, and a large part of that was due to Marcio and Claudio!
