Diogo and Márcio are wonderful hosts. I’m familiar with the area of Bento Ribiero so I have plenty of experience staying here. But if you’re a first time staying in the area please contact Diogo he is very reliable and will do anything to get the job done. The place was well suited for my needs. Excellent value for what you pay for. I definitely suggest staying here if you want to get an authentic experience of Rio especially if you’re tired of staying in Zona Sul (Copacabana Ipanema Leblon etc). I definitely will be back and look forward to staying there soon!
