I and my family and friends stayed at Marcelo's flat Aug. 4 to Aug. 11 for Olympics experience.
All of us, no exception, enjoyed so much stayed there, that we feel so bad had to come back.
Marcelo is a very responsible, very professional and very warm person, a perfect gentleman my wife added. We had exchanged more than 50 emails before we arrived Rio, he responded my mail timely and detailed. As extra help, he purchased Olympics opening ceremony tickets for us, purchase the transportation cards, organized the van pickup and drop off at the airport, prepared the whole package for all events we are going to.
After arrival, he sent email every time we went out, so concerned our safety. He responded all calls and emails about his flat or Rio, even restaurants, timely, always.
Therefor, we do not treated him as a host, but a great friend. Without his help, we could not had a such enjoyable Olympics trip and experience, thank you one more time Marcelo.
The flat is beautiful, much better then the pictures on Airbnb. Big and nice and clean. 3 bedrooms and 4 restrooms made all persons so comfortable. All functional kitchen is modern and had all necessary cooking stuff.
The living room is facing Copacabana beach, only 100 feet away! I watched sunrise and sunset every day seating by the window, so amazing. It is the best room I never had in my life. Plus, we watched Olympics events just from the windows, such as Olympics torch sending, Iron man, Bicycling... And just a walking distance to the most beautiful beach volleyball event of Olympics.
Well, I can not list all I should list here, it's so luck I found this flat to stay and so luck to find him - Marcelo!
Highly recommended to all if you are going to Rio.
I am planning to see the water fall some time next year, sure I will give him a call and ask him to leave the flat for us.
Thank you Marcelo.
