Fantastic place in a fantastic location - the bathroom is really cool with excellent water pressure. Marcelo and his wife are wonderful hosts plus their two dogs will greet you everyday with lots of love. The room has a small kitchenette which was generously stocked with coffee, milk, juice and bread - great for making a quick breakfast or snack plus there is a grocery store at the bottom of hill if you need more items. Definitely on my short list for places to stay in Rio.
