We had a great stay with Marco and his mother. The apartment was conveniently located near public transport so it was easy to get around everywhere -we were staying for the World Cup so this worked out perfectly. Easy walking distance to the beach and places to eat. We loved the juice bar on the corner!
Marco was extremely helpful in directing us how to get the best deals or the easiest way to get to the tourist sites! He also kindly let us check in earlier as we arrived on an early flight.
His mother was lovely! Although she couldn't speak English and we couldn't speak Portuguese, she was still able to help and direct us to where we needed to go. I would definitely recommend Marcos apartment for anyone stopping in rio!!! Thanks Marco!!!
