We had a great stay at Marco’s house. The apartment itself is lovely, very beautifully decorated and cosy. The kitchen is by far the best equipped one I’ve come across on Airbnb (blender, Italian coffee maker great oven etc.) The bedroom is air conditioned which makes for a very comfortable stay, and the bed is very good. Great wifi, local tips from the host, the bottle of water in the fridge and the washing machine are all welcome and much appreciated bonuses. The only things to note are that while the location of the Airbnb is on a very quiet street, you can hear a bit of noise from the apartment above (running footsteps/musics etc) which, while not constant, did sometimes start early in the morning. The location of the apartment is good if you want to explore Santa Teresa, and while you are quite far from the centre of Rio- Uber is accessible and pretty cheap. Marco was a great host, staying in close contact over messages and giving us tips and suggestions for our trip. We had a wonderful stay and would return.
