Just arrived home after spending one month in Rio. Marcelos apartment is in a top location with famouse Ipanema beach just minutes away. It's clean and simple. Wifi and a good music system available. 24 hour doorman always with a smile. Bakery, shops, laundry shop, bars and restaurants litteraly round the corner. Didn't have the pleasure to meet Marcelo but he's been very easy to communicate with and beningnant. We would definitely go back.
