Wow... what a experience in this place!!! This was my first time using this service and staying at Marcio's and Claudio's place was incredible. First of all these guys are very kind and I enjoyed their great hospitality, it was like stay at home.

I travel all night by bus from Sao Paulo to Rio, when I arrived to the buses station I just followed all the directions provided from Marcio wich were so clear and easy to do. I arrived really tired but when I enter in the apartment my breakfast were prepared! Delicious by the way and I started to feel perfect although because of the air conditioning and cold weather in Sao Paulo I got a cold and a sore throat but Marcio and Claudio helped me with a medicine! a syrup to stop coughing.

The apartment is well located and in a safe, clean and nice neighborhood. There is a subway station one block from the place, convienence store 24 hours, gas station and you can walk to the beach about 5 blocks.

The room is clean and comfortable and the decoration of the apartment invites you to feel in complete relaxation. I was given a pair of flip flop shoes "havaianas" and as a welcome gift I received a kit of hair and body Brazil nut shampoo and soap. They have two funny cats Apoteose and Raposo, as all cats very pampered.

I had no problems moving in Río because Marcio provided me maps and directions to go to the main highlights Corcovado and Sugar Loaf.

Río is a beatiful city plenty of kind people. I only spent 2 nights but definetively I have to come back and of course I only have one hotel option, staying with Marcio and Claudio. I love you guys and hope to come back soon to visit you and wonderful Río !!!
