Marcus's house was a real winner. And Marcus was a great host. The house consists of 4 bedrooms upstairs with two modern bathrooms with showers. The kitchen is well stocked and cooking would be easy. My mattress was comfortable and I even had a hammock on my balcony. My room had a fan for when I didn't want to sleep with the doors open. Nice large towels were provided and there was even a hairdryer. The wifi was excellent. It was a little far from the metro for my convenience but that also forced me to walk the area of Botofogo. Otherwise it's well located for shops and restaurants. My room faced onto the street and on a weekend this can be a bit noisy with bars next door. But if you're out and about too then this won't be an issue. I can highly recommend this house.
