I wished I could’ve stayed longer! Márcio’s place was super convenient and he was a super host who greeted me personally upon arrival (I always appreciate that). The room is located around the corner from the metro to downtown and the grocery store. It’s a 2 min walk from the beach (5 min from the gay beach) and close to many eateries and shops. There are two shared bathrooms (my room had a direct access door to one) and a kitchen area, which worked well with all guests. The living room is also nice, although I didn’t spend much time there (aside from leaving my luggage there as I waited for my evening flight). I always felt safe in the neighborhood, even late at night. And for the price... good luck finding something better ;) I would definitely stay here again.
