I stayed at Mario's place in the room with private bathroom. It's a really big room with a big bed, lots of space for clothes and storage. I had my own mini fridge in the room and TV. The room is very bright and has a direct door to the varanda. The bathroom is also very spacious. Yara is very nice, she gave me many tips about Rio and always tried to help out when I asked for advice. She is a great cook and sometimes shared her marvellous soup with me :) I did not have the chance to meet Mario, as he was not in Rio during my stay. However, during initial communication, he was extremely polite, nice and welcoming. I super recommend Mario's apartment for your stay in rio!
