We are four men from Germany who were travellin to Rio for Carnival. We stayed at Marcelo's place and we ve had the best time we could have imagined. Everything looks exactly like it is on the pictures. Even if we didn t get to meet Marcelo unfortunately, we could always contact him and he would give us advises. Great host! The appartement is definitely big enough for four men. The appartment is very safe so we never felt worried about leavin our stuff in the appartment. The location of the appartment is just perfect as it is a 2 minute walk to Copacabana and maybe 10 minutes to Ipanema. We hope we ll be back next year :-)
