Marcio & Claudio’s place is fantastic. The location is great. Besides obviously being close to Sugar Loaf Mountain, Urca is half way between the center of Rio and the beaches of Ipanema and Copacabana, providing convenient access wherever you are going. The place is super cozy too, and was a great place to come back to after long days. Finally, Claudio was super friendly and fun to talk to! We highly recommend staying here!
