Marcelo is the perfect host! He arranged the transfer for us from the airport with an English speaking driver. The flat is small but comfortable and great for 2 people. It's newly refurbished and the bathroom is really nice. It has all the comforts, is very quite and the location is AMAZING: 1 minute from Ipanema beach (posto 8). There are lots of restaurants, bars and shops walking distance.
Marcelo has left us breakfast and lots of drinks, also a bottle of Prosecco and a goody bag with pareos for the beach! He also invited us to the rehearsal for Carnival at Sambodromo, which was a unique experinece for us!
I would absolutely suggest this flat, we had a wonderful time! I can't wait to go back!
