This apartment is fantastic, looks better than the photos and we loved our time there. The views are wonderful and we didn't expect the beach to be so close which was an added bonus. Marcelo was an excellent host and provided many extras which we hadn't anticipated but loved (coffee, beach towels, chairs etc)! The apartment was very clean, kitchen well equiped and lots of space which delighted our group of 4. We were also lucky enough to have Marcelo as our guide for a day around Rio which our group loved.
