My family and I stayed at Marcos' mother's apartment for two weeks, and we couldn't have had a better stay. Marcos was an excellent host. He was flexible and accommodating to my family's travel schedule, and professional with all matters of our stay. He was readily available to respond to any issues or questions I had. The apartment itself is gorgeous. It has a beautiful view of the neighborhood, and it's only a couple of blocks from the beach. I would definitely recommend Marcos to any traveller going to Rio.
