Well, what can I say other than good things about our stay! Before we arrived I had talked to Marcos about coming in early and this was no problem. Marcos himself wasn't there, but when we arrived at the building the welcoming concierge was already expecting us and handed us our key. Our walk thriugh the neighbourhood showed us what a great place it is to stay. Leblon is definitely the safest and most quiet area in Rio. Once we got into the apartment we were surprised by the big open living room, with all the amenities you expect at your own home. Our bedroom was great; fresh linens, our own bathroom, Wi-Fi and air-conditioning. Later on Marcos came in and we had a little talk about the house, Rio and life. He's a great guy and his English is impeccable. For me as a gringo this was perfect, cause, não falo português... throughout our stay we could keep in touch with him through whatsapp and our room was cleaned as well! All together we had a perfect stay in Rio, thanks to a great airbnb host!
