Marcelo was a fantastic host and provided my husband and I with a wonderful place to stay in Rio. The apartment was clean, contained all necessary amenities and was safe. We stayed only a few blocks from the beach and very close to lots of food options!
Since we stayed in this space during the World Cup, we were close to many places we could have fun and be with a great crowd. It's important to know that during this big event, there were a lot of fireworks that went off in the middle of the night around this neighborhood. I think this is only something that happens during well known events (like the World Cup) with larger crowds.
All in all, Marcelo and the apartment were fantastic. I recommend it to anyone!
