Truly the best hosts in Copacabana, and probably in the running for the best hosts found anywhere airbnb lists. I had told my husband that my favorite thing about Rio was the people and only being able to stay for one night I was afraid he wouldn't have a chance to experience that. But Marcio and Claudio were able to give us all the best cariocas can offer! They went over the top to make us feel comfortable and welcome, from having a hand made welcome sign, making delicious caipirinhas and delightful conversation, to letting us come in after we had checked out to take showers and calling the airport to help us solve some flight issues. The apartment is in a great location (right next to the subway and blocks from the beach) and perfectly furnished, the breakfast is amazing, the bed is comfortable and the room is quiet, but Marcio and Claudio are the true gems of this experience. Anyone who wants to experience the best part of Rio, its people, stay with Marcio and Claudio!
