Marcelo's place is extremely well-located in Ipanema, not even 5 minutes away from the best spots on the beach. There are plenty of great places to eat and shop right outside the door too. The place is nicely suited for 4 visitors - clean, well-furnished, has strong ACs in every room, and great showers. For our long stay, it was also nice to have access to a washing machine. The host was super friendly and responsive, letting us check-in a little early and check-out an hour late. A great experience for sure!
