Consistently enjoyable stay at Mario's place. This was in the large room that has a full size private bathroom and hot tub. I have mentioned before that one of the great things about staying here is that you get up to date information on safety in Rio - things change quickly and you need locals to help navigate the places to stay away from. Mario and his assistant Iara do this very well. Facilities are good, the large verandah provides great outdoor space and lots of fantastic natural light. An enjoyable stay.
